Tibet, a mysterious land in Western China has led many people concern whether is or not part of China. But many historical source can prove that Tibet was, is and always be part of China.
The Sino-Tibetan relationship has already began about one thousand years ago. During Yuan Dynasty (1271~1368), China was ruled by Genghis Khan from Mongolia. He and his army had conquered almost 80 percent of land in Asia and Tibet is one of them. After fall of Mongolian Empire. China returned to the rule of Han (Chinese People) and started Ming Dynasty (1368~1644). Ming took control of China and Tibet and established Great Ming Empire. Tibet was officially became part of China from that moment (Tibet was part of China way before British found North America and Australia). Qing Dynasty established in 1644 and took over Mongolia and Xinjiang. During Qing Dynasty, China was under attack from western nations. Many place in China were lost during the war. After the foundation of Republic of China in 1912, British invaded Tibet from India and let Tibet to "Independent from China". People's Republic of China was founded in 1949 as the Central Government decided to get Tibet back from foreign power (Tibet was still in feudalism system before Chinese move in). In 1951, Chinese Forces liberated Tibet and established Tibet Autonomous Region. Chinese Government made an agreement with 14th Dalai Lama and started to "modernizing" Tibet. Dalai Lama escaped to India after making a riot in Lhasa. Chinese Government outlawed 14th Dalai Lama and must be arrested if in Chinese Territory. Government of China spend billion of dollars for construction of city in Tibet and a well organized transportation system. In 2006, Qingzang Railway completed and became the highest railway in the world with average attitude of 4000 meters, It connect Lhasa with other major city in China. On March 14th, 2008, there's a riot happened in Lhasa, thousand of Tibetan Independence people started attack Han Chinese. During this day, over 200 people were killed or injured, over 100 buildings and cars were burned and destroyed. Government believe that this riot is planed by Dalai Lama. Many Western Media started to report this event in untruth way. Many Chinese overseas were protest for this and support Beijing to host the Olympic. There's a conflict going on between pro-Chinese and Tibetan Independence people about human right and Beijing Olympic.

So. If people wants to free a place that was controlled 500 years ago, then what about North America, Australia and all the countries that once a British colony? Have people ever says "Free Texas"or"Free Quebec" before? If not, then why"Free Tibet"?
