Abstract

This paper delves into the contentious issue of Tibet's development within China. Following its 1950 invasion, China established a complex relationship with the region. The 17-Point Agreement (1951) promised Tibetan autonomy while asserting Chinese sovereignty. Limited autonomy was initially granted, particularly in "central Tibet," but not extended uniformly across other Tibetan areas. This preferential treatment reflects the strategic importance of central Tibet for the Chinese government, aiming to consolidate control and weaken the Dalai Lama's influence. By examining the interplay of economic policies, political dynamics, and cultural complexities, the paper explores the dependent nature of Tibet's relationship with China. It ultimately questions the character of Tibet's incorporation and its long-term consequences.
