Robert Destro is a senior US human rights official is also the assistant secretary of state for democracy, human rights and labour.
The US has criticised the Xi government's human rights record on issues including Xinjiang and Tibet.
However, the Chinese foreign ministry said that ethnic minorities in Tibet enjoy "full freedom of religious belief" as it accused the US of "political manipulation".
US secretary of state Mike Pompeo while introducing Destro as the special envoy on Tibet, said: "Destro will lead US efforts to promote dialogue between the People’s Republic of China and the Dalai Lama or his representatives; protect the unique religious, cultural, and linguistic identity of Tibetans; and press for their human rights to be respected."
"The United States remains concerned with the PRC’s repression of the Tibetan community," Pompeo added.
Tibet's regional chairman Che Dalha said China "never restricted foreigners' entry into Tibet". The US government had earlier restricted visas of Chinese officials who were allegedly involved in blocking diplomatic access to Tibet.
