Seventeen Point Agreement For The Peaceful Liberation Of Tibet

China has strongly implemented the firmness of the other 13 points. But these four points that China has promised Tibet are still not respected, but China has violated it. 17. This agreement enters into force immediately after the signatures and seals have been put in place. Following the occupation on 23 May 1951 of the capital of the eastern province of Chamdo, the People`s Republic of China (CHINA POPULAR REPUBLIC), Tibet forced to sign the 17-point agreement on measures for the peaceful liberation of Tibet. The alternative, according to the occupying forces, is an immediate military operation in the rest of Tibet. Photo after Claude Arpi`s exhibition. China first proposed to the Tibetans the content of the 17-point agreement and then imposed it. The Tibetans initially rejected the agreement and then tried to host it, but when China violated the agreement they had imposed themselves, the Tibetans were outraged and refuted it once again.

But China celebrates it, that`s where the irony of the agreement lies! Tibetan nationality is one of the nationalities that has a long history within the borders of China and, like many other nationalities, has fulfilled its glorious duty in the context of the creation and development of the great metropolis. But over the past hundred years, and more, imperialist forces have invaded China and subsequently entered the Tibetan region and carried out all kinds of deceptions and provocations. Like previous reactionary governments, the reactionary government of the KMT [p.Kuomintang] continued to pursue a policy of oppression and sowing of differences between nationalities, leading to division and disagreement among the Tibetan people. The local government of Tibet did not resist imperialist illusions and provocations, but adopted an unpatriotic attitude towards the great homeland. Under these conditions, Tibetan nationality and people were plunged into the depths of slavery and suffering. In 1949, a fundamental victory was won throughout the country during the war of liberation of the Chinese people; the common enemy of the internal politics of all nationalities – the reactionary government of the KMT – was overthrown; and the common foreign enemy of all nationalities – the aggressive imperialist forces – was driven out. It was on this basis that the creation of the People`s Republic of China and the Central People`s Republic was announced. In accordance with the common programme adopted by the Chinese People`s Political Consultative Conference, the central government has declared to the People`s Government that all nationalities are equal within the borders of the People`s Republic of China, that they create unity and mutual assistance, and that they oppose imperialism and its own public enemies, so that the People`s Republic of China can become a great family of brotherhood and cooperation. which is made up of all its nationalities. In this large family of nationalities of the People`s Republic of China, national regional autonomy must be exercised in areas where national minorities are concentrated, and all national minorities must have the freedom to develop their spoken and written languages, to preserve or reform their customs, customs and religious beliefs, and the central government, in the development of its economic policies.

national minorities, culture and education. Since then, all nationalities in the country, with the exception of those in the territories of Tibet and Taiwan, have been granted release. Under the unified leadership of the central government and under the direct leadership of the upper levels of popular governments, all national minorities have fully enjoyed the right to national equality and have exercised or exercised national regional autonomy. In order for the influences of the aggressive imperialist forces in Tibet to be successfully eliminated, for the unification of the territory and sovereignty of the People`s Republic of China to be achieved and for national defence to be ensured; so that Tibetan nationality and Tibetan people can be released and reintegrate the large family of the People`s Republic of China to enjoy the same rights to national equality as all other nationalities of the country and develop their political, economic work,
