Chinese President Xi Jinping visiting Tibet last week is a threat to India, an influential U.S. lawmaker has said, accusing the Joe Biden-led administration of not doing enough to stop the Chinese "march". Mr. Xi on Wednesday last made an unannounced three-day trip to Nyingchi in Tibet, close to the border with Arunachal Pradesh. Mr. Xi, who is also General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, met top officials of the Tibet Military Command and reviewed development projects in the region. In an interview to Fox News, Republican Congressman Devin Nunes said, "Just last week, you had Xi Jinping, the Chinese dictator, on the border with India, in Tibet, claiming victory. This was the first time in 30 years, I believe, that a Chinese dictator had been to Tibet, and also threatening India, over a billion people also a nuclear power; threatening India that he's going to build a big water project, possibly cut off water to India." During his visit to Nyingchi, Mr. Xi visited the Nyang River Bridge to inspect the ecological preservation in the basin of the Brahmaputra river, which is called Yarlung Zangbo in Tibetan language.
