DHARAMSHALA, July 17: The President of the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), known also as the Tibetan government in exile, Penpa Tsering, has strongly criticised Australia’s muted stance on China’s human rights record, warning against prioritising economic interests over fundamental democratic values.
In an interview with The Canberra Times and the Australian Associated Press (AAP) during his visit to Australia, the Tibetan exile leader cautioned that China’s repressive influence extends beyond its borders, even into democratic countries like Australia. He noted that many Tibetans residing in Australia are former political prisoners who often feel compelled to self-censor criticisms of China out of fear that it could jeopardise their ability to obtain visas to visit family members in Tibet.
