"U.S. Policy Toward Tibet
The United States considers the Tibet Autonomous Region or TAR (hereinafter referred to as 'Tibet') as part of the People's Republic of China. This longstanding policy is consistent with the view of the entire international community, including all China's neighbors: no country recognizes Tibet as a sovereign state. Moreover, U.S. acceptance of China's claim of sovereignty over Tibet predates the establishment of the People's Republic of China. In 1942, we told the Nationalist Chinese government then headquartered in Chongqing (Chungking) that we had 'at no time raised (a) question' over Chinese claims to Tibet."

The lack of interest in this podcast by the numbers of viewers as well the lack of comments shows the interest on Tibet by the Canadian society is on a all time low. Not as be during the 60's to 2000. The new generation that has emerged is more into woke culture of today meaning all about my rights, forgetting others.
