n. A part of China's land since Yuan Dynasty, its proven in history books and even by National Geographics in 1936. The Tibet before China was one of the world's most poorest nations. 90% were slaves who worked till they dropped day by day for their masters who is consisted of 10% of the population. The Lama controlled everything imposed heavy taxes, cut off people's limbs, gauged eye balls, and took off baby's skins for artifacts. There arer full evidence of the Lama's heinous crimes , but many people are either too lazy or refuse to do research. Fifty years after China liberated Tibet, Tibetans became more civilized and recieves better rights than an average Chinese, but those exiled Lamas are jealous the fact that Tibet is 1 million times better than 50 years ago when they are in power.

a great place with the every dream to break free from the communist chinese. a place of wisdom and peace. beautiful mountains, grass, and sky. everything was just like that until the chinese came, killing millions of innocent tibetans. however, tibet hopes to be free, back to peace.

Reportedly the name of Richard Gere's pet gerbil, which was extracted during a late night operation at an undisclosed Beverly Hills Clinic.

An autonomous PROVINCE, of China, and has been for centuries, which every uneducated, ignorant fool in the world wants to "free" from the communists.

The truth is that Tibet was a oppresive theocracy run by corrupt old men who neglected, enslaved, and impoverished their subjects. The Chinese communists came in, destroyed the Iron-Fist Theocracy, educated, funded, built schools, hospitals etc for and basically welcomed a formerly oppressed province to the rest of China.

An automous region of China, it is home to a unique form of Buddhism and it is rich in culture. Tibet is also one of the fasting growing in population and economic growth.

It became the focus of protests against the Beijing Olympics back in the spring and summer of 2008.
Brainwashed Free Tibet people think that Tibet should be completely independent and they will even go as far as to justify the murders of the Chinese in Tibet.
Brainwashed CCP-supporters think that Tibet was ALWAYS part of China, when in reality, it was a part of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties as a tributary, it wasn't until the Qing Dynasty was when Tibet was full part of China. Also, the thing to think about it is that the Qing Dyanasty and the Republic of China were not as repressive or destructive towards Tibetan and Buddhist culture as the PRC communists were in the 1950s and 60s.
Despite political repressions and strictly regulated practice of religion and religious rights, the typical Tibetan is still living a better life from a socioeconomic standpoint compared to pre-1959 times.

The rational person would believe that Tibetans were both negatively and positively influenced by PRC consolidation.

Negatives- Much Tibetan culture was lost and destroyed by the Chinese communists, crackdowns on protests can be quite brutal, spiritual leaders cannot be freely chosen without consent from Beijing.

Positives- Vastly improved infrastructure, part of the diverse and power modern Chinese economy, lower class Tibetans have more freedoms.

Both the Free Tibet and Pro-CCP people fail to understand the importance of a good compromise, such as maybe Hong Kong/Macau-style autonomy for Tibet, the ability for the Tibetan Buddhist clergy to pick their own leaders.

Even the Dalai Lama Gyastso himself disagrees with complete independence.

Very very high, usually from marijuana or hash.

the term Tibet to refer to the three original provinces of U'sang, Kham and Amdo

Tibet is a confusing word because it has many different meanings and is therefore controversial. It generally means the region taking atleast half to most of the Tibetan Plateau depending on how you ask. It is also an ethnic region in Asia similar to China, Korea, Burma, Japan, etc. The people are primarily Buddhist and have a strong monastic tradition. The closest other nation you can compare Tibet to is probably Mongolia. The most famous guy from Tibet is the Dalai Lama who is seen as the most important religious figure for the Tibetan religion but he is very much loathed by the Chinese government. This is a neutral fact.

The most important thing about Tibet is that it's the most petty and stupid subject to get angry about and upvote/downvote (depending on where you politically stand) on urban dictionary, the website that is dedicated to being as unacademic as humanly possible. Fuck you if you're one of these people. Fuck you.

Tibet was an independent country but in 1959 China invaded and annexed it, killing 1 million people and destroying 1800 temples. Of course the United Nations did nothing.
