这里摘抄The Seventeen-Point Agreement一节的前几段对1949年西藏处境的描述。
The establishment of the PRC in October 1949 set in motion events that two years later broke the deadlock over the Tibet Question.
In its formative years, the Chinese Communist party had followed the Soviet Union's lead and adopted the policy that ethnic territories in China would be autonomous republics with the right of secession. By the end of World War II, however, this policy shifted to political centralism, and when the new Communist government began, its nationality policy held that Communist China
would be an indivisibly multiethnic state with autonomous nationality regions (rather than republics) that had no right to secede. Tibet was considered one such nationality region, and in late 1949 the new Chinese Communist government
proclaimed its liberation as one of the main goals for the People's Liberation
Army (PLA).[6]
The Tibetan government found itself in a very difficult situation. The string of fortuitous events that had prevented China from actively addressing the
Tibet Question after the fall of the Qing dynasty were no longer present, so
the modernization faction's fear that Tibet would some day have to defend its
independence militarily was about to come to pass.
Not surprisingly, Tibet's poorly armed and led military had only an amateurish plan to combat an invasion. Moreover, Tibet was more isolated internationally than at any time since 1913 because Britain no longer had any national interest in maintaining Tibet's "autonomous" status. Once it granted independence to India in 1947, London saw its role as supporting India's foreign policy, which at this time centered on establishing friendly relations with the PRC, not Tibet.
