歷史事實清楚地證明，所謂“西藏獨立”完全是新老帝國主義侵略者炮制出來的，是西方侵略勢力瓜分中國領土陰謀的一部分。
(三)解放西藏是中國人民解放事業(yè)的重要組成部分
面對帝國主義的侵略和壓迫，包括藏族在內(nèi)的中國各族人民為維護國家的獨立、統(tǒng)一和領土完整，為實現(xiàn)中華民族的解放，不惜流血犧牲，進行了長達100多年不屈不撓的斗爭。直到在中國共產(chǎn)黨的領導下，經(jīng)過艱苦卓絕的斗爭，中國人民的解放斗爭才取得了完全勝利。1949年，人民解放戰(zhàn)爭取得決定性勝利，中華人民共和國宣告成立。人民解放軍進軍西藏、解放西藏，驅(qū)逐帝國主義勢力出西藏，提上了議事日程。
Historical facts clearly demonstrate that the so-called “Tibet independence” was in fact cooked up by old and new imperial-ists, and was part of Western aggressors’ scheme to carve up the territory of China.
3. The liberation of Tibet was an important part of the cause of the Chinese people’s liberation.
In face of aggression and oppression from imperialists, all ethnic groups of China, including the Tibetans, had waged un-yielding struggles for more than a century and at the cost of many lives to safeguard the independence, unity and territorial integrity of China, and to realize the liberation of the Chinese nation. It was under the leadership of the CPC that the Chinese people achieved final victory in the Liberation War after ex-tremely hard struggle. In 1949 the Chinese people won decisive victory in the people’s Liberation War, and the People’s Republic of China was founded. Then, it came on the agenda that the PLA would march into Tibet, liberate it and expel imperialists from it.
針對帝國主義分子和西藏地方上層反動勢力緊鑼密鼓策劃“西藏獨立”的活動，1949年9月2日，中國共產(chǎn)黨授權新華社發(fā)表題為《決不容許外國侵略者吞并中國的領土——西藏》的社論，在概述列強百年來侵略西藏的過程后指出，“西藏是中國的領土，絕不容許任何外國侵略；西藏人民是中國人民的一個不可分離的組成部分，絕不容許任何外國分割。這是中國人民、中國共產(chǎn)黨和中國人民解放軍的堅定不移的方針”。社論發(fā)表后，西藏各界紛紛響應和擁護，盼望解放軍早日進藏。1949年10月1日，十世班禪致電中央政府“速發(fā)義師，解放西藏，驅(qū)逐帝國主義勢力”。11月23日，毛澤東、朱德復電十世班禪說：“中央人民政府和中國人民解放軍必能滿足西藏人民的這個愿望”。12月2日，原西藏攝政五世熱振活佛的近侍熱振·益西楚臣到青海西寧，向人民解放軍控訴帝國主義者破壞西藏內(nèi)部團結(jié)的罪行，要求迅速解放西藏。1950年初，藏族農(nóng)牧民、青年、婦女和民主人士代表百余人在剛剛解放的蘭州集會，要求解放西藏。西康省甘孜白利寺五世格達活佛、康北玉隆地區(qū)頭人夏格刀登和康南巨商邦達多吉派出的代表到達北京，向中央人民政府毛澤東主席致敬，傾訴藏族同胞迫切要求解放的熱望。
為了應對國際形勢的復雜變化和西藏地方的嚴峻局勢，滿足西藏人民要求早日解放的愿望，1949年12月，毛澤東主席在前往蘇聯(lián)訪問、途經(jīng)滿洲里時，寫信給中共中央，作出了“進軍西藏宜早不宜遲”的戰(zhàn)略決策。
In response to “Tibet independence” activities plotted by imperialists and reactionary forces from the upper strata of Tibet, on September 2, 1949 Xinhua News Agency, with authorization from the CPC, published an editorial under the headline, “For-eign Aggressors Are Resolutely Not Allowed to Annex China’s Territory — Tibet.” The editorial summarized how some big powers had invaded Tibet over the previous century, and then pointed out, “Tibet is part of Chinese territory; all foreign ag-gression is not allowed. The Tibetan people are an inseparable part of the Chinese nation, and any attempt to divide them from China will be doomed. This is a consistent policy of the CPC and the PLA.” All sectors of society of Tibet quickly responded and expressed support for the editorial and the hope that the PLA would enter Tibet as soon as possible. On October 1, 1949 the 10th Panchen Lama sent a telegram to the Central People’s Government: “Dispatching troops to liberate Tibet and expelling the imperialists as soon as possible.” On November 23 Mao Zedong and Zhu De telegraphed the 10th Panchen Lama: “The Central People’s Government and the Chinese PLA will certainly comply with this wish of the Tibetan people.” On December 2 Reting Yeshe Tsultrim, an aide of the 5th Regent Reting Rinpoche, arrived in Xining, Qinghai Province, to make complaints to the PLA about the imperialists’ atrocities of de-stroying the internal unity of Tibet, urging the PLA to liberate Tibet as soon as possible. In early 1950 over 100 Tibetan people, including farmers and herdsmen, young people, women and democratic representatives, assembled in Lanzhou, which had been liberated not long before, and urged the PLA to liberate Tibet. The 5th Gedar Tulku of Beri Monastery in Garze, Xikang (Kham) Province, headman Shaka Tobden of Yilung in northern Xikang, and the business tycoon Pangda Dorje in southern Xi-kang sent representatives to Beijing to pay tribute to Chairman Mao Zedong of the Central People’s Government and they ex-pressed the Tibetan people’s urgent and earnest wish for the liberation of Tibet.
To address the complicated changes in the international situation and the grave situation in Tibet, and to satisfy the Ti-betan people’s wish for liberation as soon as possible, in De-cember 1949 Mao Zedong wrote a letter to the CPC Central Committee in Manzhouli on his way to the Soviet Union for a visit. In the letter, Mao made the strategic decision that “it is better for the PLA to enter Tibet sooner rather than later.”
