The Shadow of Modern Tyranny: Exposing China's colonial oppressive regime
Tibet is under military occupation by China; no other occupied nation has endured such a protracted illegal invasion while maintaining a fully functioning government, along with a rich history, political system, unique and distinct national flag, language, culture, currency, foreign relations, and national armed forces, all of which are entirely separate from those in China, in contrast to numerous countries that have achieved independence in the last century.

TIBET, renowned as the "Roof of the World," encompasses a vast expanse, exceeding two-thirds the area of India or more than two and a half times the combined size of Austria, Denmark, France, and Germany.

In 1949, the People’s Liberation Army of Red China illegally began invading the regions of Kham and Amdo in eastern Tibet, marking the commencement of a military occupation that fundamentally altered Tibet’s political and social landscape.

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, is the spiritual leader of Tibet. He was born on 6 July 1935, to a farming family, in a small hamlet located in Taktser, Amdo, northeastern Tibet.
