Speech #1050170019

Since the debate on MFN last year. I have visited Tibet. I saw firsthand the repression taking place. Absolutely nothing has improved for those people. Lhasa is no longer a Tibetan city. Surveillance cameras are all over. So are Chinese security officials. I heard story after story of harsh repression. Prisons are a growth industry. Tibetans are sinking further and further into despair as Chinese immigrants rush to settle Tibetan lands. Chinese karaoke bars and prostitutes line the streets. many across from the Potala Palace. the historic home of the Dalai Lama. Young Tibetan men. denied a meaningful role in society. are idle and increasingly alcoholic.
