However, he made sure to note in his signed statement that the US recognizes Tibet (as referenced in the act) as part of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Tibetans throughout the world welcomed the act and celebrated it. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs denounced the US for its backing of Tibet even before the Resolve Tibet Act was signed into law.
