| Tibet (Tibet Autonomous Region) - The Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), led by the Dalai Lama, considers itself a government in exile, but has recently declared that they are now aiming only for greater autonomy for Tibet within China, not full independence, which the Dalai Lama described as currently being "out of the question". Tibet is governed by China, with the majority of it geographically included in China's Tibet Autonomous Region. Local support for the 'Free Tibet Movement' is hard to gauge, possibly due to the tight Chinese controls, which sees surprisingly little information come directly from within Tibet itself. |
