    Literally only the Tibetan “government in exile” (formed in 2011) and the CIA hold this opinion

      Says who?

      I can’t find any sources other than the CCP in 1951 that say otherwise.

      You’re also using a state controlled agency to report your facts on one side but an independent source on the other.

        The ROC holds that Tibet has been part of China since 1792 at latest, which is the consensus of non-PRC historians everywhere. The Qing Dynasty fully integrated Tibet, though Tibet and China had been co-ruled as part of the same country with no meaningful distinction since the 14th century.

        Tibet has been part of China for hundreds of years; longer than when the US invaded native lands

        Are you fucking for real? A quick google search, even on the heavily CIA edited Wikipedia, would tell you Tibet ( which was part of the Mongolic Dzungarian empire at the time) was annexed by Qing Empire in the 1700s.
