Speaking at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, Yang Jiechi says Tibet is an inalienable part of China and Tibetan issues are exclusively the country's internal affairs.

The foreign minister also highlighted the rapid economic and social progress made in Tibet since the launch of democratic reform 50 years ago. Yang Jiechi says Tibetans' living standards have been improved and Tibetan culture preserved. He expressed hope that people in the US come to understand these facts, and respect China's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
