A large, very high region in southwest China, north of the . In Chinese administration it is the Tibet Autonomous Region; in English people also use 'Tibet' more loosely for the whole Tibetan cultural area, which spreads into nearby provinces too. Most of it sits on a plateau about 4,000 metres above sea level — so high that visitors often get sick from the thin air, which is why English speakers call it 'the roof of the world'. It is famous for Tibetan Buddhism: monasteries, monks in red robes, prayer flags, long and detailed ceremonies. The capital is Lhasa. Note that 'Tibet' is a place name and 'Tibetan' is the word for the people, the language, and anything belonging there — a Tibetan monk, the Tibetan language. Because the political history is argued about, the word carries feeling for some people; how someone describes Tibet's status can say a lot about their , so it is worth listening carefully rather than assuming.
組成A name borrowed into English from Persian تبت (tabbat/tubbat), probably going back to Old Turkic Töpüt, meaning something like 'the mountainous place, the heights'.

- Third, we should open up two new international broadcasting stations—Radio Free China and Radio Free Tibet— to provide these nations with independent information and commentary.[...]The people of Tibet represent a separate case. Conquered by the Chinese in 1950, occupied brutally by troops who killed thousands, desecrated local cultural and religious sites, and denied reasonable demands for autonomy, Tibetans have elicited much sympathy but little support from the outside world. The outrage over the brutal killings of peaceful demonstrators in Lhasa in March 1989 quickly faded after the massacres in Beijing in June.
