This historic piece of legislation aims to increase access to Tibet for Tibetan-Americans and American journalists, diplomats and tourists, just as their Chinese counterparts are able to travel in the US. Under the bill, Chinese authorities who are involved in the design and implementation of policies that restrict travel to Tibetan areas will be ineligible to receive a visa or be admitted to the United States.
Time is critical – the senate must pass the bill by December 31st.
