Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Dr. Sangay, it's good to see you, the Sikyong of the Tibetan people. Thank you very much for your testimony.
You mentioned that the solution rests with Beijing. These 107 self-immolations...that's an extraordinary number, and it's hard to fathom people lighting themselves in protest, and what they must have gone through to have that kind of motivation.
What has been the response of the People's Republic of China so far? Have they begun to soften their position? Do they have some kind of empathy towards what's going on?
