Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 8 page report discusses the basic issues - political, economic, cultural - surrounding the border conflicts between China and Tibet. Tibet is formally considered an autonomous region of the People's Republic of China. Much of the 20th century has involved conflict over that issue and how and when Tibet will be 'freed.' In October, 1950, little more than a year after the Communists gained full control of mainland China, their troops invaded Tibet. Now, nearly fifty years after the invasion, the Chinese still maintain their authority by armed force. They have redrawn the country's borders, incorporating huge swaths of Tibetan territory into Chinese provinces. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
