    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the relationships of Tibet, China and China. It references the works of Wang Hui on the Tibetan revolution, and the "Investigation of the Social and Economic Causes of the 14 March Incident in Tibetan Areas," by Fang Kun and colleagues on the understanding of the local population of Tibet in the revolution. It also discusses the religion of the Tibetan society that was compared to the migrants of China. Wang Hui discusses orientalism the way Western countries understand, and mythicizes Tibet and its colonialism. He also questions the social status of Tibet including the Cultural Revolution and conflicts of Tibet with China, and views the problems as depoliticisation.
