Exploring the Tibet Angle in Contemporary Geopolitics

Recently, the US Congress has passed a unanimous bill to promote resolution of the Tibet-China dispute, with a two-fold aim to encourage China to communicate effectively with the Dalai Lama, and to counter the Communist Party's disinformation on Tibetan culture and history. In this episode of All Things Policy, Anushka Saxena and Amit Kumar discuss the 'Tibet angle' in contemporary geopolitics, focusing on the US bill, China's weaponisation of Tibetan names and resources in its own regional dealings, and the recent media frenzy in India surrounding the renaming of Tibetan geo-features.
