Since the enter of Chinese military over Tibet territories in 1950, the conflict between the communist authorities and Tibetan government was occurred.
I open this thread so that we can have place to discuss more and deeply about the situation between China and Tibet.
Tibet – a part of China or an independent state
On one hand, China insisted that China has continuously applied domination over Tibet for over 700 years until now. Furthermore, Tibet was never successful in fighting for their independence over that long period. Thus, no country or government even recognized Tibet as an independent state or nation, said the People’s Daily from China.
However, on the other hand, The Dalai Lama's director of information, Thubten Samphel dismissed the remark as offensive and unreliable. He explained that at various period of time, Tibet is under sovereignty of foreign countries, for examples, the Mongols, the Gurkhas of Nepal, the Manchus of China and the British.
Above all, this is the same to a vast number countries and nations around the world. Even so, at a point in its history, Tibet was the country placing the domination and influence on China. Tibet was an independent state in 1912, and Tibetans want this back.
The conflict has been going on a long way
According to Chinese government, Tibet belongs to China from the mid-13th century. Hence, Tibet should continue to be ruled by Beijing and Chinese government.
Again, Tibetans are increasingly against this statement, added that Tibet was an independent republic for many centuries. The fact that China ruled over Tibet was not constant, for instance in 1912.
The independence of Tibet was unfortunately not widely recognized and authorized. After that, in 1949, the People’s Republic of China was established, emphasizing on liberating all of Chinese territories and regions.
One more time, Tibet officially declared its independence from China. Also, Tibet confirmed that they will defend for their right and demanded all their territories back, which were taken from them by the previous Chinese government.
Later, Tibet asked for negotiations from the USA, Britain, China and India, but, there was no positive signal. Being afraid of the threat of military revenge, the other countries would not interfere and Tibet should maintain the negations with Chinese government.
In 1950, China sent armed forces to Tibet, and forced Tibetan government to sign a contract, which gave the Chinese government the right to escape military over Tibet. The contract referred to the 17 points ‘Agreement on measures for the peaceful liberation of Tibet’ document. This is said by historians to be the first case of 1 country 2 systems policy, which later was taken into implementation in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The year 1950 started the periods of unrest and sporadic uprisings as resentment to Beijing’s rule have pursued.
