Berlin, July 5, 2017 — The panda bears Meng Meng and Jiao Qing officially handed over to Chancellor Angela Merkel by the Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Berlin Zoo. With this panda diplomacy, the Chinese government has been strengthening its diplomatic relationship for years.

Dharamshala — "Allowing travel to Tibet is only one step China needs to take. It must also remove the obstacles to freedom of movement for Tibetans within China and abroad. China cannot have it both ways. Either Tibetans are Chinese citizens or they are not. If they are, they must enjoy the same rights and privileges as other Chinese citizens. China also must permit His Holiness the Dalai Lama to return to Tibet for a visit, if he so desires. He is a man of peace who will soon turn 82 years old. He should be able to visit his homeland," said US Representative McGovern during his plea for Tibet to the House.
