Tibetans won’t protest Chinese presence at summit

NEW DELHI: Exiled Tibetans will not protest against China during a G20 Summit as President Xi Jinping will not be attending the meeting, a Tibetan delegate said. “We wanted to do some movement during the G20 meeting if Xi Jinping were to attend the summit. Now we have heard that he is not coming,” Dawa Tsering, a member of the Tibetan Parliament in Exile, said. Since Xi came to power, he has been provoking the Indian government and the Indian people, Tsering added. “[Xi] is torturing the Tibetan people…It is a cultural genocide. He is worse than Mao Zedong.” Asked if they would protest against the presence of a Chinese representative at the summit, Tsering said the protest would have taken place only if Xi had attended. “We expect the Indian government to stand strongly against the Chinese expansionist policy that it adopts not only towards India but all South Asian countrie…should stand against this Chinese policy.”
