西姆拉会议与西藏分裂主义

Tibet Separatism and the Simla Conference

西藏独立是西姆拉会议的核心内容。在西姆拉会议上,西藏地方政府和英国相勾结,正式提出了"汉藏划界"和"西藏独立"的主张,并迫使中国代表在西姆拉条约的草案上签字,目的是以国际会议、国际条约的方式使西藏独立合法化,确定西藏"独立国家"的身份。虽然会议最终以失败告终,但是它造成的恶劣影响贻害至今。西姆拉会议是西藏分裂主义发展过程中的标志性事件,也是西藏分裂主义国际化的重要一步。国内对西姆拉会议的研究多侧重于它对中印边界以及对中印关系的影响,本文则着重分析它在西藏分裂主义产生和发展过程中的作用。

The core preoccupation of the Simla Conference was the division of Tibet. At the conference, the British conspired with the local Tibetan government to formally propose a ＂Sino - Tibetan demarcation line,＂ and press for ＂Tibetan Independence. ＂ The two parties further forced the Chinese delegate to the confer- ence to sign the draft Simla Accord, with the objective of using an international conference and an international treaty to legitimize the division of Tibet and ensure Tibet＇s status as an ＂independent state. ＂ While the Conference ultimately con- cluded unsuccessfully, its adverse impacts can still be felt today. The Simla Con- ference is a symbolic event in the development of Tibetan separatism, and an im- portant step in the internationalization of Tibetan separatism. Chinese research on the Simla Conference tends to focus only on the impact that it had on border de- marcation between China and India and Sino - Indian relations. This paper＇ s contribution is to analyze instead the role that the Conference played in the creation and development of Tibetan separatism.
