A Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) representative in Ladhk, India, has expressed optimism about the prospects of a free Tibet. Tseten Wangchuk, an officer for the exiled CTA, believes that border clashes with India and the spread from Wuhan of COVID-19 has increased global pressure on Beijing. Wangchuk added that, “the free Tibet movement is gaining momentum. The world must resolve the Tibetan issue while the Dalai Lama is alive”.
