20世纪美国的西藏政策评析

Review of America Policy toward Tibet in the 20th Century

在 2 0世纪 ,美国对中国西藏问题的政策大体经历了从追随英帝国主义“西藏宗主权”理论 ,到侧重承认“西藏是中国的一部分” ,再转变到支持西藏叛逃分裂势力分裂中国 ,炮制“西藏民族自决”论和推动“西藏问题”国际化的过程。美国奉行的西藏政策是实用主义原则和双重标准。在其需要遏制和分裂中国时才利用“西藏问题”

American policy toward Tibet is an important factor in Sino-American relationts. The early Amercan Tibetan policy was based on the theory of ' sovereighty over Tibet' by British imperialism. During the 20th century, American policy toward Chinese Tibetan issue has experienced three stages,from following the sovereignty theory to emphasizing 'Tibet is a part of China',and then to supporting Tibetan rebellious and splittist forces in flight to split China,concocting 'Tibetan national self-determination'theory and promoting the internationalization of Tibetan issue. In summary, American Tibetan policy is pragmatic and duel-standards, and the 'Tibetan issue'is used as a means to contain and split China when the United States is in need of it.
