Washington: Tibetan
activists have asked Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping, the heir
apparent to the country's leadership, to find a lasting solution
to the Tibet problem.
In a report, the activists have challenged Xi to take "immediate
steps towards a just and lasting resolution to the occupation of
Tibet, or face greater international condemnation and domestic
instability", a press note said.
The report titled - Xi Jinping's Tibet Challenge: 60 Years of
Failed Policies in Tibet - was launched simultaneously from
London, New York, Washington, and Sydney via an online press
conference.
"Xi Jinping is set to inherit a wide array of challenges but the
occupation of Tibet poses one of the greatest threats to China's
global standing and long-term stability," said Tenzin Jigme of the
International Tibet Network in the report.
Xi is slated to replace Hu Jintao as general secretary of the
Chinese Communist Party at its upcoming 18th National Congress Nov
8 in Beijing.
Tenzin Dorjee of Students for a Free Tibet (SFT) at the press
conference said for Xi, Tibet is his "biggest challenge" and a
litmus test set to define his legacy as a leader.
