Question

Are china’s actions in Tibet a genocide?

Answer 1

Answer:

It can be considered genocide.  

Explanation:

In 1950/51 China tried to occupy Tibetan Autonomous Regions and made it an integral part of Chinese society. Although Tibet declared independence from China in 1913, the Chinese invaded Tibetan territories in 1950 by forcefully moving a huge number of Han Chinese into the Tibetan Regions to realize large economic, social, cultural, religious and political reforms.  

Tibet was a part of the People's Republic of China, but it had a higher level of autonomy. However, the Communist Party of China became violent as Tibetan citizens attacked their troops in Tibet in order to declare Tibetan independence. The Chinese government responded to killing over 80,000 people.
