Obama’s Concern

February 12, 2014;

US President Obama has asked China to respect the fundamental rights of minority nationalities in China, including Tibetans.  Obama was speaking to legislators, officials, and clergy from all faiths and political ideologies at the annual National Prayer Breakfast on February 6 in Washington. “We deeply believe that it’s in our interest…to stand up for universal human rights” said Obama, “When I meet with Chinese leaders…I stress that realizing China’s potential rests on upholding universal rights, including for Christians, and Tibetan Buddhists, and Uighur Muslims.”
