Commentary
On Sept. 30, 2021, the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), the government-in-exile of Tibet, released a document entitled “Tibet: 70 Years of Occupation and Oppression.” This document details Tibet’s fascinating but sad story from ancient times to today, but concentrates on the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) occupation and brutal oppression.
