(Photo: Pedro Saraiva)</p></div> 494<p>Tibet has a long and rich history as a nation existing side-by-side with China while political power in Asia shifted between empires and kingdoms. In 1913, the 13th Dalai Lama issued a proclamation reaffirming Tibetâs independence and the country maintained its own national flag, currency, stamps, passports and army.</p> 495<p>Following China’s Communist revolution in 1948, it invaded Tibet in 1950. Overwhelmed, Tibet was forced to give up its independence. After a failed uprising against Chinese rule in 1959, the 14th Dalai Lama – Tibetâs political and spiritual leader at the time – fled into exile in India followed by tens of thousands of Tibetans. Since 1959, China’s government has exercised total political control over Tibet, using all the tools of repression to deter and punish Tibetan resistance.</p> 496 497 </div> 498 499 </div> 500 <!-- End Article --> 501 </div> 502 <!-- End container --> 503 </div> 504 <!--End main-section --> 505 506 507 <div class="components"> 508 509 510 511 512 513 514 515 <section class="pullquote dark section"> 516 517 <header class="section-header container"> 518 519 520 521 </header> 522 523 <div class="container"> 524 <div class="pullquote pullquote-has-image"> 525 526 <div class="pullquote-image"> 527 <img src="https://freetibet.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Dalai-lama-e1646311109319.jpg" alt="" height="530" width="530"> 528 </div> 529 530 <div class="pullquote-info"> 531 532 <div class="pullquote-info-inner"> 533 <blockquote>"The Chinese government wants me to say that for many centuries Tibet has been part of China.
