United States Legislative Backlash... The United States has steadily escalated its legislative pushback against Beijing's control over the region: The "Assuring the Future of Tibet Act": A major bipartisan bill was recently introduced in the U.S. Senate to legally establish that the Tibetan people have an absolute right to self-determination. The bill mandates senior-level engagement with the Tibetan government-in-exile and pushes for them to receive official observer status within the United Nations. *HELLO* Tibet sits on the Tibetan Plateau, often called the "Water Tower of Asia," containing the headwaters of major rivers that supply over a billion people in India, Southeast Asia, and China. China's aggressive development of massive military infrastructure, highways, and rail lines running from Lhasa through borderlands has intensified severe border disputes and military standoffs with India.
