TIBET AND CHINA IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY: NON-VIOLENCE VERSUS STATE POWER BOOK

Book ID/图书代码： 11908507B13563

English Summary/英文概要： The Chinese occupation of Tibet is one of the world’s hot-button issues, but the social and political realities of the situation are more complex than commonly acknowledged and change frequently over time. John Heath’s overview lends perspective to this conflict through a calm examination of the situation as it stands, as well as reviewing how it has arrived at the present state of affairs. Heath enquires into the origin of Mao Zedong’s influences, rise to power and eventual decision to invade Tibet, and examines Chinese policy towards the country from Mao’s time right up to the recent change of administration headed by Hu Jintao. Simultaneously, Heath reports on the various changes Tibetans have faced under Chinese rule, from eroding cultural traditions and ecology to economic development. The second part of the book addresses the contentious human-rights aspect of China’s actions in Tibet, and explores the very real, and realistic, question of how best to negotiate with China to achieve a solution acceptable to both parties.
