] [ M ] Immediately
after the communist party took power in China in 1949 it began asserting
its claim that Tibet was part of Chinese territory and its people were
crying out for "liberation" from "imperialist forces"
and from the "reactionary feudal regime in Lhasa". By October
1950 the People's Liberation Army had penetrated Tibet as far as Chamdo
the capital of Kham province and headquarters of the Tibetan Army's
Eastern Command. The region was routed and the Governor, Ngawang Jigme
Ngabo, taken prisoner. Chinese forces were also stealthily infiltrating
Tibet's north-eastern border Province, Amdo, but avoiding military clashes
which would alert international interest.
