Tibet Was Never A Part of China Since Antiquity: Using China’s Official/Authoritative Documents as Proof

As a signatory to the League of Nations and United Nations covenants, China promised not to conquer new territories after 1919. Therefore, after the People’s Republic of China (PRC) conquered Tibet in 1950, she saw the necessity of lying to the world that Tibet has always been an inseparable part of China. In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Hon-Shiang Lau, Ph.D., dismantles that narrative with clarity and precision. Drawing on official Chinese sources, imperial records, treaties, and eyewitness accounts, Lau demonstrates that Tibet’s relationship with China was neither one of continuous subjugation nor sovereign control. Instead, he reveals a far more complex and independent Tibetan history that stands apart from Beijing’s propaganda.

With meticulous scholarship and accessible prose, Lau takes readers on a journey through centuries of contested borders, political maneuvering, and shifting alliances. The result is a compelling account that restores historical truth to the Tibetan people and dispels the many lies and fabrications propagated by the PRC. This book is not only a critical resource for historians and policymakers but also an essential work for anyone seeking to understand Tibet’s rightful place in world history.
