They were invaded by the communists three or four months apart, but the world only sent troops to Korea and paid no attention to Tibet. Since then, Tibet has become a part of Chinese territory and has been living as an autonomous region to this day. At first glance, Tibet looks like a country with nothing but mountains. With an average altitude of 4,000m, it's a land where it's hard to even breathe. However, China calls Tibet Xizang (西藏). Xizang (西藏) means 'hidden treasure of the west'. Why did Mao Zedong occupy Tibet so hastily just one year after the founding of the People's Republic of China? And why can't he give up Tibet despite all the criticism from the international community today? It's because Tibet, as China says, has five invaluable treasures. #ChineseTibet #ChineseTibet #TibetandChina
