How Powerful Is Tibet?

in June 2016 President Barack Obama met with exile tibetan leader the dalai lama
against China's protests.
china has maintain direct control over much of Tibet for decades despite a long
growing independence movement Tibet has its own vibrant culture and wheeled
spiritual influence around the world.
Tibet is located on the Tibetan Plateau
in Central and East Asia which spans nearly 1 million square miles and is the
largest plateau in the world. but despite its name the plateau does not cover all
of Tibet.
it also includes the north indian state of Jammu and Kashmir.
moreover China's claim on Tibet is split between an autonomous region covering
the western and central portions.
while the eastern part is made up of several Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture.
'he's which are still within China in 1951 Tibet was absorbed by China based
on an agreement between the 16 year old Dalai Lama and the Chinese government.
although many have condemned the agreement including the Dalai Lama
himself. the Exile Tibetan government claims it was signed under duress
since President season paying took office in 2013.
the Chinese government has detained and prosecuted hundreds of Tibetan
protesters the country's ethnic population is predominantly. Tibetan
Buddhist which is led by the defective spiritual leader the dalai lama of tibet
is wholly economically dependent on China which funds nearly all of its
government expenditures and does not collect taxes from the region.
in 2013 Tibet's gdp reach 13 billion dollars after a double-digit growth rate
over the past two decades but despite that high growth.
it's a fairly small GP for a population of according to China three million
Tibetans.
however the Dalai Lama as long ledge that there are closer to six million
Tibetans an estimate that likely includes not only Chinese controlled
territory but the surrounding region also known as great Erza. bet
part of the reason for its small economy is that the majority of output is based
on sustenance farming meaning that residents grow food for themselves and
their community but not enough to sell or trade.
additionally due to bet Spain status as a cultural and religious center as well
as having some of the highest mountain peaks on earth. including Mount Everest
tourism is an important source of income as an economically weak and dependent
state with its former government in exile.
it would seem that Tibet should have little international influence but in
fact the opposite is true.
the Tibetan independence movement has gained significant popularity around the
world particularly in Western countries benefit events like the Tibetan freedom
concert for tens of thousands of attendees and organizations like Free
Tibet are known worldwide. President Obama's meeting with the Dalai Lama is
another major confirmation that despite China's protests the question of Tibet
is still an important focus for the world humanitarian efforts.
