Xi visits Tibet, first trip by leader in years 

 

 

  • China’s President Xi Jinping this week became the first Chinese leader in many years to visit Tibet as well as its southeastern border region with India. 

 

  • This is Mr. Xi’s first visit to the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) since taking over as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China in 2012. 

 

  • This trip was timed to mark the 70th anniversary of what the Communist Party calls “the peaceful liberation of Tibet”. 

 

  • The Seventeen Point Agreement was signed on May 23, 1951. China refers to the agreement as heralding what it calls “the peaceful liberation of Tibet”. 

 

  • The agreement has been rejected by the Dalai Lama, who has said the Communist Party had both forced it on Tibet and subsequently violated its commitments, leading him to eventually flee to India in exile in 1959. 

 

  • Developing connectivity to border areas was a particular focus of the visit, evident in the visit to Nyingchi, a month after China started operating the first bullet train line in Tibet, linking Lhasa to Nyingchi near the border with Arunachal Pradesh. 

 

  • The China State Railway Group said the 435-km line, on which construction began in 2014, has a designed speed of 160 km per hour and would connect the capital city of the Tibet Autonomous Region to the border city of Nyingchi with a travel time of three and a half hours.
