At the same time. over 6.000 Tibetan monasteries have been destroyed and 1 million Tibetans have died as a result of Chinese policies. The Inundation of Chinese settlers and the persecution of Tibetans is threatening Tibets unique national identity and culture with extinction. Quite simply. if current rates of Chinese immigration into Tibet continue. Tibet will ultimately cease to exist as a nation. as a culture. and as a people. For the sake of all Tibetans living in Tibet and in exile. the Peoples Republic of China must discontinue its population transfer policy which threatens Tibets existence. and I appreciate the committee for calling attention to this important issue.
