- Photos show a rare look inside Tibet, 75 years after what China calls a ‘peaceful liberation’
The article marks the 75th anniversary of China's 'peaceful liberation' of Tibet in 1951, a term disputed by critics who view it as an invasion. The Associated Press participated in a government-organized trip to Tibet with restricted movement, visiting cultural sites like the Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple. Government officials accompanied journalists, but the AP retained editorial control over its content.
