| Summary / Abstract (Note) | From the historical perspective, despite the China’s claim that Tibet has been a part of China since ancient time1, irrefutable facts abound to demonstrate that Tibet has never been a part of China anywhere in its pre-1949 history2. It is only after the formation of People’s Republic of China (PRC), that China began to assert sovereignty over Tibet. The Communist China has tried to claim Tibet as a part of China under various unsubstantiated grounds. But like most of its concocted propaganda, the nature of their claims kept changing. First, they claimed Tibet as a part of China since 7th century Tibetan Emperor Srongtsan Gampo [Tib: Srong btsan sgampo], when the Tang Princess Wencheng Kungchu became one of the queens of Tibet. |
