Did the Chinese invade Tibet in 1959?

No. That's another lie. Fortunately, it's easier to find out the truth now. Do some research your self (no, going to freetibet.org is not research) and you'll find out.

The Western accepted story now, although not quite true but closer to the truth, is that China occupied Tibet in 1950-1951 with an "illegal" agreement with the Tibetan government. There was a popular uprising in 1959 that was crushed by the Chinese troops. This version is somewhere between the Official Chinese government version and the freetibet version.

But even today, the freetibet crowd is still insisting on the lie that China invaded Tibet in 1959.

Not that China's rule in Tibet is justified or that Tibetan independence is wrong. I just don't think that the Tibetans would want this kind of "help" that is filled with lies and misinformations.

BTW, the guy you call "idiot" probably doesn't know anything about Tibetan history, but he gave a firsthand, unbiased account of what is happening in Lhasa. You're just too prejudiced to see the truth.

There was no invasion in 1959, nor in 1949, nor 1950, nor 1951. I mean how can you invade your own territory?

If China taking control of Tibet was invasion then it was the same type of invasion done by Lincoln to the Confederate States.

Tibet was part of China long before there was a United States of America. And Uncle Sam and Honest Abe both agreed in 1942.

BTW, that 1959 uprising by the Tibetans was instigated by the CIA, called Operation ST Circus.

Did the Americans invade Texas in 1959?

I think they did. Before 1959, Texas was independent country. Texas is now an occupied country.

United States : Texas
China : Tibet

Exact the same analogy.
