Abstract
This study examines the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) legitimization process of its 1951 occupation of Tibet, investigating the specific mechanisms employed to assert sovereignty over the region. The findings reveal that beyond military intervention, the CCP implemented a systematic campaign to construct a narrative of Tibet's “peaceful liberation.” This narrative encompassed several key elements: highlighting Tibet's internal challenges, including its harsh terrain and feudal social structure that oppressed lower classes; reframing Tibet's sovereignty as an external issue; establishing China's historical claims to Tibet; and emphasizing the benefits of Chinese administration in Tibet. This process demonstrates the sophisticated propaganda capabilities of the Chinese Communist Party. However, the Chinese nationalist movement's efforts to incorporate Tibet as part of China did not achieve the desired level of success, as evidenced by the continuous waves of protests in Tibet that have persisted from that period until the present day.
