The House voted Wednesday to pass a bill that is urging China to mend ties with the Dalai Lama and other Tibetan leaders.
The legislation, named Promoting a Resolution to the Tibet-China Dispute Act, received broad bipartisan support and encourages China and Tibet to resolve the long-standing dispute over Tibet’s governance.
The bill now heads to President Biden’s desk after being passed by the Senate last month.

While they are at it, they should repeal the Law of Gravity.
Ok
Big hitter Lama...long
”So, he’s got that going for him...which is nice.”
Gunga galunga … gunga, gunga-lagunga.
How is passing a law in the US going to make that happen?
Does the bill authorize Biden to send China a jillion dollars to encourage them to make nice?
It won’t. But it is apparently of the utmost importance that congress waste time on this while rome burns. Brilliant bastards that they are.
“So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I’m a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald… striking.
So, I’m on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one – big hitter, the Lama – long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga… gunga, gunga-galunga.
So we finish eighteen and he’s gonna stiff me. And I say, “Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.” And he says, “Oh, uh, there won’t be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.”
So I got that goin’ for me, which is nice. — Carl Spackler”
Great movie.

It shows bi-partisanship that the candidates can take home to their constituencies.

Sum Ting Wong with these “representatives”.
