Religion · Buddhist traditions · Tibetan Buddhist traditions · Politics
The Dalai Lama’s office links his 1959 exile to the suppression of the Lhasa uprising following China’s 1950 military entry. China’s 2015 state white paper frames the 1951–1959 process as peaceful liberation and democratic reform. These are competing interpretations by involved actors.
