DHARAMSHALA, Aug. 20: Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Lhasa on Wednesday for his second visit to Tibet since 2021 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the so-called “Tibet Autonomous Region.” The so-called TAR, officially established by the People’s Republic of China in 1965, comprises less than half of Tibet’s historical and cultural territory, which includes the traditional province of U-Tsang and a part of Kham.
State media reported that Xi was greeted by “people of various ethnic groups” and called for building a “modern socialist Tibet” that is “united, prosperous, civilized, harmonious and beautiful.” Chinese outlets framed the visit as evidence of stability and progress, citing poverty alleviation, infrastructure expansion, and “ethnic unity.”
