It is a proud moment for Tibet and Tibetans that our honorable Sikyong Penpa Tsering La is a well-educated, humble, honest, and courageous man. Thank you OxfordUnion for presenting such a platform to our Sikyong to speak about Tibet and Tibetans. We have been suffering under the aggression of the PRC for generations to generations during the last 60 years. However, under the guidance of HH The Great 14th Dalai Lama, we are not fighting for Independence but, for the Middle Way approach. May Peace prevail on earth.

We Tibetans have been through an extremely traumatic experience since 1959 under the occupation of China. Thank you for giving an opportunity to our Sikyong and Tibetan people 🙏

[Rememberalll]

Thank you for inviting our Sikyong, very informative

[fairygyani]

This was a truly excellent discourse on the plight of the Tibetan people and Tibet. It is an absolute disgrace that most Western countries have made themselves reliant upon importing and exporting to/from China, the world's biggest bully, allowing themselves to be dictated to for fear of losing revenue. I try to avoid buying any food imported from China in my country.
Good questions too 🙏🧚😥
