US Senate has passed 'Tibetan Policy and Support Act, 2020'. The act makes it an official US policy that decisions regarding the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama are exclusively within the authority of the current Dalai Lama and the Tibetan people. Any interference by Chinese officials will attract sanctions under the new US law. The Times of India spoke to India's former foreign secretary Kanwal Sibal about the issue and future of US-China relations as the new government takes the reigns of America next month.
