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.

Thanks sikong for your great knowledge and representing us. We could not be prouder. May you live long and healthy!

[@vishwaroopbhattacharya6275]

Well i appreciate Oxford Union for providing platform to Sikyong(President) Penpa Tsering the voice of Tibetan community to share the view point of Tibetans across the world. He clearly said that his holiness Dalai Lama didn't allowed them to use violence to get their rights from China. Yet Dalai Lama was attacked. I really wish this issue gets resolved..

[@fairygyani273]

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.

[@MrRabgyal]
