China and Tibet’s Security and Stability (CATSS) COMMITTEE # 5 (FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE TEAM)

Problem: There is potential loss of Tibet’s history and China violates the Tibetans’ human rights. Policy: The United States as peacekeepers, should send in government monitors and money to Tibet for them to able to protect themselves, and the United States should not be involved in urging Tibet to liberate themselves from China’s rule.

Argument 2 Every nation and country has a right for securing the freedom of religion and speech. ◦Tibetans are being unfairly treated for having a different religion. ◦“We have this weird thing in the world where you don’t get insulted for what you do, you get insulted for who you are.” – John Green

Argument China violates Tibetan human rights, so the United States should send some government officials or monitors. ◦A twenty one year old monk was detained in Lhasa, Tibet in 2010 for carrying a Tibetan flag. ◦Many Tibetans were also tortured unforgivingly by the Chinese over the Tibetan flag.

Argument 3 The United States should lend money to Tibet to provide a better education so that Tibet will have more potential of a better government in years to come. ◦In 2005, only a shocking 11.5% of Tibetan population had secondary education or higher. ◦Additionally, “The Tibetan language is under threat as Chinese has replaced Tibetan as the official language.”
