Tibet: Genocide

I feel the genocide was intentional by the PRC to the extent that it had more to do with just Mao taking control, but more both countries ethic routes. Historically, Tibetan dynasties often conflicted with Chinese dynasties. Culturally, Chinese people tend not to know the myths, religious symbols, or history of Tibet, nor do Tibetans tend to know those of the Chinese. "In 1949 the People's Republic of China began invading, occupying, and colonizing Tibet. China entered into Tibet immediately after the communist victory over the Chinese Nationalists, imposed a treaty of "liberation" on the Tibetans, militarily occupied Tibet's territory, and divided that territory into twelve administrative units. It forcibly repressed Tibetan resistance between 1956 and 1959 and annexed Tibet in 1965." The source used [http://www.enotes.com/genocide-encyclopedia/tibet] is limited with its views, because it is bias and puts the Chinese in a bad light only naming conflicts that the Chinese did to the Tibetan people and not if the Tibet did anything to them, besides the dynasty wars early on.
