Part III Democratic reforms in Tibet

10:35, March 26, 2009  

The sweeping democratic reform movement abolished the decadent, dark, and backward theocratic system of feudal serfdom, and emancipated greatly productive forces.

Moreover, one million serfs were thus no longer chattel for trade or barter, but became masters of their own destiny and the society.

In September 1965, the Tibet Autonomous Region was officially established, marking an epoch-making change in Tibetan history and great progress in China's human rights cause.
