Tibet
Sir, —“P.J.A.” seems to have forgotten two things. First, it was made reasonably clear in these columns a
month ago that Tibet was independent before the Chinese invasion. This invasion began on October 7, 1950, and Tibet’s independence was gradually reduced by the Chinese until in 1958, with the occupation of the Potala, the last vestiges- of it disappeared. Therefore China was not invading its own territory as “P.J.A.” suggests. Second, “P.J.A.” has neglected to answer my questions. If he is unable to answer them, I can certainly do so for him.—Yours, etc., R.W.G. September 8, 1971.
