 | | The number of military and civilian Tibetans that have died in the Great Leap Forward, violence, or other unnatural causes since 1950 is often quoted at approximately 1.2 million, which the Chinese Communist Party vehemently denies. | | | Lhasa is Tibet's traditional capital and the capital of Tibet Autonomous Region. | | | Although he remained a virtual prisoner, the Chinese set the Panchen Lama as a figurehead in Lhasa, claiming that he headed the legitimate Government of Tibet in the absence of the Dalai Lama, the traditional head of government. |

| | It recalls the "four glorious decades of regional ethnic autonomy in Tibet" since the Dalai Lama fled in the wake of the Lhasa Uprising against Chinese troops in 1959, decades during which "a feudal serfdom under theocracy, one even darker and more backward than medieval Europe" was turned into a "modern socialist people's democracy". | | | The Chinese government's release of the policy paper, he said, is likely to be a reaction "as much to the prominence of the international discourse of solving ethnic conflicts through ethnic autonomy as it is to the Dalai Lama's proposal for a 'Hong Kong-style' autonomy, which has been around since the 1990s". | | | With the Dalai Lama having rejected his people's aspirations for independence and striving for a deal on autonomy, the spotlight is now on his next moves. |
