As U.S. and Chinese officials began a high-profile round of annual talks in Beijing on Wednesday, Tibetan poet and writer Tsering Woeser was once more placed under house arrest at her Beijing home.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
She said the move came after she posted on Twitter and Facebook that she had received an invitation from U.S. officials.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
“I was put under guard, probably because I wrote on Twitter and Facebook that I had a call from the U.S. Embassy,” Woeser told RFA on the eve of the sixth round of annual strategic bilateral talks.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
“The U.S. Embassy called me to invite me to a meeting and a banquet,” she said.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
Woeser “has emerged as the most prominent mainland activist speaking out publicly about human rights conditions” for Tibetans, the U.S. State Department said in a statement after she won its “Woman of Courage” award in 2013.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
Her website Invisible Tibet, together with her poetry and nonfiction and writings on social media have given a voice to millions of Tibetans “who are prevented from expressing themselves to the outside world due to government efforts to curtail the flow of information,” the State Department said.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
Woeser was prevented from leaving China to collect the award in person.<\/div>
<\/div>
 <\/div>
The U.S. delegation to the bilateral talks in Beijing is led by Secretary of State John Kerry.<\/div>
