That's a lie. China never invaded Tibet. Tibet was a part of China and was recognized by all the
Nations on earth. USA recognized Tibet as part of China in the 40s. Then came the Korean War
(1950-1953) USA launched a massive world wide propaganda campaign claiming that China invaded a part
of itself, Tibet.
See for example this US State Department Document. It clearly stated that USA recognized Tibet as a
part of China in
1942:
----
http://dosfan.lib.uic.edu/ERC/bureaus/eap/950907WiedemannTibet.html The United States considers the
Tibet Autonomous Region or TAR (hereinafter referred to as "Tibet") as part of the People's Republic
of China. This longstanding policy is consistent with the view of the entire international
community, including all China's neighbors: no country recognizes Tibet as a sovereign state.
Moreover, U.S. acceptance of China's claim of sovereignty over Tibet predates the establishment of
the People's Republic of China. In 1942, we told the Nationalist Chinese government then
headquartered in Chongqing (Chungking) that we had "at no time raised
(a) question" over Chinese claims to Tibet.

There is currently a massive US and UK gov sponsored propaganda campaign against China funding via
the US national Endowment for Democracy and the British Westminister Foundation For Democracy. There
are 400,000 web pages on Tibet in the internet. Talking a closer look at these sites, one will find
that most of these propaganda have originated from 3 main sources
(1) The Tibet Information Network (TIN), based in London
(2) Tibetan Center for Human Rights and Democracy, based in India.
(3) International Campaign for Tibet All 3 organizations receive funding from the U.S. National
Endowment For Democracy (NED), a CIA front specializing in psychological warfare. They are
currently trying to overthrow the Gov of Venezuela.
