Hong Kong-based Sri Lankan-born journalist and author Nury Vittachi highlighted U.S. government links to the International Campaign for Tibet, cited in a Guardian report alleging China underreported casualties from a recent flood. He said public records show the group received National Endowment for Democracy grants and has personnel ties to the State Department and Congress, while criticizing the Guardian for omitting that context.
