——驱逐帝国主义势力，实现和平解放

　　1840年鸦片战争后，帝国主义侵华日甚一日，中国逐步沦为半殖民地半封建社会。中国的西藏地区也遭到了帝国主义的侵略。1888年和1904年，面对英国的侵略，西藏军民进行了英勇的抵抗，但由于清朝政府的腐败、国力的衰落和封建农奴制度的没落，抵抗以失败告终。英国通过强迫当时的清朝政府甚至绕开清朝政府直接胁迫西藏地方政府与其签订不平等条约，在西藏攫取了严重损害中国主权的一系列特权。经济上开设商埠，强行通商，划定江孜、亚东为商埠，常驻英国商务代表，设立固定的官方机构。军事上驻扎军队，在江孜常驻一个连，在亚东常驻一个排。建立由英国人管理、经营并为掠夺服务的基础设施，包括邮电设施和驿站等，长期为英、印人员和少数西藏分裂分子提供服务。

-- Driving out imperialist forces, and realizing peaceful liberation

After the Opium War of 1840, imperialist forces intensified aggression on China, gradually reducing the country to a semi-colonial, semi-feudal society. China's Tibet region also suffered imperialist aggression. In face of the British invasions of 1888 and 1904, Tibetan military and civilians put up a heroic resistance, but it failed due to the corrupt Qing government and declining national strength, and feudal serfdom. Britain coerced the Qing government, even bypassing it and directly forcing the local government of Tibet to sign unequal treaties, thus grabbing a series of privileges in Tibet that seriously damaged the sovereignty of China. Economically, it forcibly opened trading ports there, making Gyantse and Yadong two ports where permanent British trade representatives resided and official institutions were set up. Militarily, it stationed troops, one company in Gyantse and a platoon in Yadong. In addition, it built such infrastructure as posts, telecommunications, and courier stations managed and run by the British that served Britain's pillaging, and provided long-term service for British and Indian officers and a few Tibetan separatists.
