Question

If tibet is part of china,why is it called tibet and not china?

Answer 1

Tibet was a sovreign nation that was ruled by a theocracy with the Dalai Lama as it's head. Maoist China invaded and occupied Tibet, which has left the Dalai Lama as a leader-in-exile. While it is a part of modern day China, there are several million people fighting for it's freedom through rally's and protests, several of which have turned extremely violent.

Answer 2

Tibet isn't a part of China, it was annexed by the qing dynasty.

But all places have names for example Gansu is a part of China but not called China.

Answer 3

The same goes for those 2:

Hong Kong is part of China.

Macau is part of China.

Answer 4

Tibet is NOT part of China.

Introduction  -  China took over Tibet by HAMMERING NAILS INTO THE EYES OF the peaceful buddhist monks.  This is not a USA vs Muslim dispute where both sides have a story. This is a criminal vs victim dispute where the Chinese have commited mass murder and immense suffering in Tibet. If nothing else…….please read this http://www.tibetjustice.org

China and its Media   -    The world knows that Chinese muzzles the press, and the truth. If the Chinese are so honest why do they muzzle the press ? Because The Chinese have only lies, rape and mass murder on their side.  But here is an actual video of   >>  search youtube…..  Olympic Hosts China their soldiers killing Tibetan <<  refugees escaping to India   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2ImZlolH...

China versus the Internet -    China ignores that a huge no of educated references, even books have been written about brutalities by China on Tibet.  Since China loves to say ‘Free Tibet’ protesters are ignorant, despicable, etc, please read this banned in China blog posting by a Han Chinese against his own countries oppression.  http://www.savetibet.org/news/newsitem.p...    

Low IQ Qing Dynasty Argument  -    And they have this low IQ Qing dynasty argument. China feels that if it ever controlled ‘any’ territory ever in the past it should control it today. By the same logic, Mongolia , Japan, even Tibet can also have claims over China because they have controlled Chinese territory in the past.  

The Olympics -     My  argument posted on the Internet why and how the venue of the Olympics can be changed at short notice ( with a few downsides )        http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...
