Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Tibet to commemorate the 60th anniversary of China's rule over the region. Xi's visit comes amid ongoing international criticism of China's human rights record in Tibet, including cultural repression and the forced assimilation of Tibetan children. The visit follows recent protests by exiled Tibetans in India against China's policies. China claims Tibet has been part of its territory for centuries, a claim disputed by many Tibetans who assert past independence.
