Beijing criticized the visit, urging the US to recognize the "separatist nature" of the Dalai Lama. The visit underscores Washington's support for Tibetan rights amid strained US-China relations.Purpose of the US Delegation's VisitThe American lawmakers' visit to India was part of a broader effort to support Tibetan rights. They met the Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, in Dharamshala. The visit aligns with Washington’s long-standing support for Tibetans and their cultural and religious practices, which have faced repression in China.The US House of Representatives recently passed the Resolve Tibet Act, which aims to pressure China into resuming dialogue with Tibetan leaders. This dialogue has been stalled since 2010. The bill seeks a negotiated agreement on Tibet's future, addressing aspirations related to its historical, cultural, religious, and linguistic identity.Meetings with Tibetan Exile GovernmentThe delegation also met officials of Tibet’s government in exile, which operates from India. Among the delegates were Nancy Pelosi, former US House Speaker, and the authors of the Resolve Tibet Act.</blockquote>
