Tibet Autonomous Region

The Tibetan Plateau, a region unlike any other on Earth, in south central Asia stretches across western China into the distant Himalayas. At an average altitude of 12,000 feet, it is the most elevated region on Earth, and not only is it home to one of the most unique landscapes but also to one of the most unique cultures and people of the world, the Tibetans. Tibet has a rich history that can be dated back to almost 1300 years ago, almost all of which China has been involved in some way. This conflict

China and Tibet The issue is about China and Tibet, Should or shouldn’t Tibetan Exile Refugees change their peaceful approach toward China by appealing to sympathetic nations to militarily force China out of Tibet? During the 1600’s Tibet was a very powerful country and the Dalai Lama was introduced as the leader or Tibet. China controlled Tibet in the Early 1700’s. The British arrived in Tibet in 1904 to help them overcome China. They signed a treaty, and set up trading posts. China controlled

in the role of supporting Tibetans both in exile and in Tibet. While Chinese explanations for considering Tibet a part of China are most often reasonable, they tend not to reflect the nature of the relationship between the two countries accurately. In fact, the same can be said of the Tibetan government-in-exile regarding reasons Tibet is not a part of China. The government-in-exile has acted reasonably well in its attempts to regain Tibet, proceeding in negotiations with China and advocating its

A Sky Burial has great religious importance to the Tibetan Buddhist. They believe “ the corpse is nothing more than an empty vessel. The spirit or soul of the deceased has exited the body to be reincarnated into another circle of life,” (http://www.travelchinaguide.com/cityguides/tibet/sky-buria.htm). Sky

The legitimacy of Chinese claims to lawful control over Tibet is an extremely complicated issue, in many ways made more difficult by the unusual relationship Tibet maintained in relation to the international community before 1950. There are several competing considerations regarding Tibet’s rightful status, each to be addressed in turn. A historical account is necessary to address claims that Tibet has always been an integral part of China, as well as to determine what formal

Problem between Tibet and the Han Chinese Tibet is located at the western part of China into the Himalayas with disputed country origin (Crowe 2013). In addition to the central Tibet, it also forms the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) along with Gansu, Qinghai, Sichuan, and Yunnan provinces composed of a total population of approximately 5 million (Crowe 2013). There are also Tibetans living in regions of India composed of different religions and Sikkim, Bhutan, and Nepal (Crowe 2013). The relationship

Tough Politics If I had to ask the Dalai Lama one question concerning the behalf of his exiled government and the status of his people, I know exactly what it would be. How can you preach non-violence and compassion while watching your people in Tibet suffer such inhumane punishments for simply having national and spiritual pride? As an established political and spiritual leader of any given nation, the first and foremost obligation of this office is to maintain and uphold the well-being and overall

addressed are since the women take the brunt of the responsibilities, why are they treated as a second class citizen? Why is it that Tibetan women are considered not equal even though they work just as hard or harder as the Tibetan men? Do the men of Tibet fear that the women may have the intelligence to further themselves than what they give credit and continue to keep the women underneath the men?

Today, Tibet looks more like China because of increasing number of Chinese residents, Chinese letters on the street, and even Chinese schools are getting popular due to better opportunities for children after school. One way in which China is infiltrating in Tibet is through investment in infrastructure projects and economic development that bring thousands and thousands of workers of Han Chinese descends. For example, from the 1950s to 1999, over 200,000 Han workers have migrated to Tibet to work
