How does Tibet continue to be part of China?

Published: Sept. 15, 2021, 4 a.m.

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the peaceful liberation of Tibet. Today we will talk about how Tibet became an indivisible territory of China.

In 1958, Tibet carried out democratic reforms, which actually meant abolishing the evil serfdom system and liberated all slaves by giving everyone ownership of a piece of land to farm on. This violated the interests of the Tibetan aristocratic slave owners, and so they launched a riot. After the People's Liberation Army put down the rebellion in 1959, a large number of Tibetan aristocrats and the 14th Dalai Lama went to India and became the main force of the Tibetan independence forces. 

The stability of Tibet is not the result of a stable political system, but more importantly, the earth-shaking changes in the economic construction after Tibet's peaceful liberation.

I set up and operate this channel alone, hoping to share the real China with the world as well as clarify misconceptions and lies against China. 

The continued development of China is the biggest game-changer in this century that affects all aspects of everyone’s lives. Embrace the change and seize the opportunity.
