There is no evidence to support the Chinese government's claims that Tibet has always been part of Chine. Chine has forged and distributed documents that lay a false claim on Tibet to the world.
The world however knows that Tibet was a free country prior to the occupation in 1949. There is no country to liberate unless it is not occupied by an imperialist power.
Tibet is not a part of China. It has a distinct language, a unique cultural heritage, and an ancient religion, distinctive customs, to name but a few. Tibet had little in common with Chine and hence the pain of the suppression.
