Michael Parenti's Friendly Feudalism: The Tibet Myth is a good place to start.
GenZedong
This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)
Seconding this, anyone defending the monks is in for a real uncomfortable read with this one
ProleWiki page on Tibet had some good references. Perhaps these have some primary sources you can highlight as well that aren’t Chinese.

I just read this because of this post. Plenty of good sources here, western sources including internal CIA documents and communications.

From an American journalist who are multiple trips to China during the middle of the 20th century. Was originally published as a book; bonus points if you can snag a copy of that.
Highly recommend When Serfs Stood up in Tibet by Anna Louise Strong
