| | Religion, Nationalism and Peace in Sudan: Religion and Peacemaking: U.S. Institute of Peace |
| | Tibetans argue that this view of statehood does not take into account the relations between Tibet and its neighbors nor the political autonomy it may have enjoyed from time to time. | | | In this view, Tibet was an independent country prior to 1949/50, and the military action by the PRC was an illegal violation of Tibet's legitimate sovereignty. | | | This was the central conclusion of a recent conference on Tibet hosted by the United States Institute of Peace as part of its continuing series on Religion, Nationalism, and Intolerance. |

| | Before the scheduled voting period, government conducted an opinion polling within the Tibetan people, to which over 66% of the population said `no' to the referendum. | | | The object of this policy is to forcibly "resolve" China's massive territorial claims over Tibet by means of a massive and irreversible population shift. | | | This is the period when both Tibet and China were in the same political grouping subjected to Mongolian rule. |

| | Tibetan Scholars assess chances for a Sino-Tibetan dialogue - www.phayul.com |
| | The authors reckon that the willingness of Chinese scholars and strategic analysts, "to criticise the prevailing hard-line policies suggests that the move toward talks is motivated not just by short run political goals but also by a reasoned and sober consideration of China's long-term interests". | | | The overwhelming nationalist sentiments which became apparent during the visit to Tibet of the Dalai Lama's fact-finding missions forced Beijing to reassess its strategy toward Tibet and the Dalai Lama, thus closing the door to dialogue in 1984. | | | The 1990s were characterised by China pursuing a hard-line policy in Tibet and by the Tibetan leadership's "uneven commitment to engagement". |

| | Window opens on Sino-Tibetan talks |
| | The former event will signify the continuing centrality of the Dalai Lama in resolving the political dispute between Tibet and China while the latter will mark the unmistakable consolidation of Beijing’s rule in Tibet and celebrate the unprecedented economic boom and growing levels of prosperity in the region. | | | The next few weeks could see some public signalling between Beijing and Dharamsala, where the Dalai Lama runs a government in exile, and some intense face to face talks on the framework for negotiations about the future of Tibet. | | | Exiled Tibetan sources told The Indian Express that the last round of talks in September 2004 ‘‘were the most extensive and serious exchange of views on Tibet so far’’. |

| | 'Dialogue' or 'negotiation'? - The 2nd round of Sino-Tibetan contact begins |
| | The visit of the Tibetan delegation demonstrates the willingness of the new Chinese leaders to continue the contact with the Dalai Lama which was started in September 2002, during the very last weeks of tenure of the outgoing Communist Party leadership. | | | The second Tibetan delegation consists of the same people as the first one, which visited the PRC in September 2002. | | | This course, though highly controversial among Tibetans in exile, has remained the official policy of the Tibetan government in exile ever since. |

| | Speaker estimates for Tibetan are very uncertain, largely because of the inflluence of Chinese in recent years; but a figure of 34 million seems likely. | | | There are over 50 of these languages (such as Tibetan, Russian, Uighur, Kazakh, Mongolian, and Korean), spoken by around 6% of the population. | | | It is by no means clear, for example, whether the small group of Karen languages, spoken by around 2 million people in Burma, should be included or excluded from the Sino-Tibetan family. |

| | As the relationships between Chinese and Tibetan on the one hand, and Tibetan and Burmese on the other became obvious, vague notions of an "Indo-Chinese" family (Hodgson 1853, Conrady 1896) began to crystallize. | | | Subsequent sporadic attempts to find cognates between Tibetan and Chinese [e.g. | | | The existence of the TB family was posited as early as the 1850's, when it was noticed that many words in "Written Tibetan" (WT), attested since the 7th c. |
