  1. David Miliband’s comment has my full support! Tibet was never a independent country for centuries.

    If people really look at the history, China was ruled by Mongolian emperors for don’t know how many years, until the monarchy government was pushed back by China’s Nationalist party, later on they fled to Taiwan from the Communist government, which is currently China’s decision makers.

    At the time Mongolia and Tibet was under China’s sovereignty, and Inner Mongolia was made independent, by then China’s Nationalist party in a pact with Russia. So in fact Simla’s claimed of Tibet owned by the Mongolian was not wrong, at 1913 the whole of China was under Mongolian rule, there were no Nationalist or Communist party then.

    To the Free Tibet supporters out there, really who knows which history is right or wrong, as “Winners” can change history.

    I felt all those newspapers and supporters of Tibet should do some history reading, and you will know Mongolia wasn’t independent till 1924, which means it’s current writers trying to confuse us about the Simla’s 1913 record, rewording it’s meaning that Mongolia was a country in 1913? Not possible is it?

  2. Strong views there, I really don't know... my view on this topic is quite neutral, I don't really know what's the truth on Tibet. You do hear different stories of the history of Tibet, who's telling the truth?

  3. The fact is that in 1244, the chief Lama of Tibet submitted to the Mongols on behalf of Tibet. Since at that time, the Mongols had shifted their capital and power centre to Peking, and furthermore created a dynasty in line with Chinese history, China has since reasserted time and again that Tibet is an inalienable part of China. The Chinese central governments entrusted the local governments of each province with the task to rule those provinces, instead of replacing them with new leaders.

  4. In a bid to avoid confusion, I think that it was Outer Mongolia, but not Inner Mongolia, that was made free in the years 1920s, in the wake of the Bolshevik October 1917 revolution.
