Chapter 84 Important issues concerning Tibet are handled by the central government

(April 8, 1952) Southwest Bureau, Tibet Working Committee: Received a call from the Southwest Bureau at 11 o'clock on April 7.Agree with the Southwest Bureau's opinion that the riots in Lhasa should be dealt with directly by the central government.The central government also decided that the subsequent political, military, diplomatic, trade, religious, cultural, etc. negotiations, discussions, and handling incidents between us and Tibet should be resolved by the central government. The Tibet Working Committee will report directly to the central government and inform the Southwest Bureau. .The Southwest Bureau's opinions on these issues were submitted to the Central Committee.Regarding the internal affairs of the Tibetan Party and military region, including establishment, deployment, training, production, construction, and support, the Southwest Bureau and the Southwest Military Region are still in charge.The Tibet Working Committee should report and ask for instructions on all matters related to negotiations with Tibet and diplomatic events with India, Nepal and other countries before handling them.It was wrong not to report and ask for instructions on the establishment of a primary school in Lhasa recently.In addition, it seems that there are some things that have not been reported and asked for instructions in advance.Please pay close attention to this point.We must recognize the extreme seriousness of the Tibetan issue, and must deal with it appropriately, not treating it as a case of dealing with ordinary relations.
