Little history of tibet  

and the same stats for china in 1959? for the rest of asia in 1959?

lol. there were no Dalai Lama's at that time, just Buddhist Teacher teaching Buddhism in different Buddhism schools.

1236-1354:
what your talking about was Drogon Chogyal Phagpa the state preceptor of Tibet SENT by Kublai Khan to administer Tibet. Drogon made an attempt to imposed Sakya hagemony (master and servant) and was affirmed by Khan and he made Drogon the Dishi(ruler) of Tibet. thus became Feudalism and enter YOUR POINT (the slavery in Tibet).

1500's:
start of the Dalai Lama lineage.

The feudal system was broken by the Chinese government and the oppressed people were liberated.

A little more Tibetian history.

Tibet as an independent nation is recorded in history as long ago as 7th Century when the then King, Namri Lonstan sent an ambassador to China.

From the 7th to 11th Centuries a series of Tibetan Emporers ruled Tibet, their Empire extending as far as Bengal and parts of Mongolia. Thus at this time is was more than just a separate state but head of an empire.

After 200 years, following the death of Langdarma, their was a struggle over succession and civil was resulted. The empire became divided.

In 1244, the Mongols recognising Tibet as an independent state began negotiations for its surrender. It is around this time that China also came into the Mongol empire.

Thus there is ample evidence until 1244 that Tibet was an independent state. Khubilai left both the Chinese and Tibetan legal and administrative systems intact and operating independently and whilst the Chinese system of exams nor Neo-Confucian policies operated in China there were not implemented in Tibet.

As the Mongol empire faded to be replaced by China, administration of Tibet passed to China but it is important to note that this was as a conquered country.

In the 18th century the Dalai Lama became sovereign of Tibet, the executive function delegated to a council of ministers. Thus sovereignty was restored, although the Chines insisted on retaining the right to dictate choice of Dalai Lama.

Following an invasion by Gurkhas, Tibet called on Chinese military aid and this lead to China attempting to tighten its control over this sovereign state. This control wained to being a mere formality, appointment of the Dalai Lama being approved in Bejing after the event.

As British forces caused the retreat of Tibetan influence in Nepal and the power of the Qing government declined.

In 1841 cessation of hostilities with the Punjabs was concluded by the Tibetians without recourse to Bejing and again in 1856 Tibet made peace with Nepal without recourse to Bejing.

The Chinese claim that at this time Tibet agreed to allegiance with China. Now only a sovereign state can make allegiance. So, that is a clear indication that China regarded Tibet as a sovereign state at the time.

Thus we can see that Tibet has been an independent state, a ruler of an empire, an subjugated state under first the Mongols and then the Chinese. We can also see it emerge from Chinese control, once again as an independent state.

In the late 19th Century British empire agents were actively trading in Tibet and Britain In 1893 China signed, by Ho Chang-Jung, a treatise with Britain from which I quote,

"In the event of trade disputes arising between British and Chinese or Tibetan subjects in Tibet..." thus we can see that China recognised the existence of Tibetan citizens and therefore of a Tibetan state.

On 8th January 1913 Tibet and Mongolia signed treatise mutually recognising the sovereignty of each.

Following revolution in China, Tibetan forces expelled remaining Chinese military and Chinese officials signed a document providing for the expulsion of all Chinese forces from Tibet.

In 1914 British Chinese and Tibetan representative met and a document was drawn up giving Tibet independence from Chinese control whilst Tibet remained nominally under Chinese Suzarianty.(It is important to note that Suzarianty does not confer sovereignty to China, thus Tibet still remains a Sovereign state)

Despite agreeing to this China then reneged on the agreement, never the less having agreed any moral claim to sovereignty surely ceases.

Between 1920 and 30 China attempted unsuccessfully to reassert sovereignty and again this alone is sufficient to cede Tibet as an independent state.

From this period China had no representation in Tibet, this not being re-established until a mission was sent in 1934

Tibet remained de-facto independent of Chinese control from 1912 until the Chinese invasion. Thus its sovereignty cannot be in doubt.
