在各方面的共同努力下，西藏的生态文明建设取得明显成效。目前，西藏的自然保护区面积达到41.37万平方公里，占全区国土面积的33.9%，居全国之首；森林覆盖率达11.91%，活林木总蓄积量居全国首位；各类湿地面积600多万公顷，居全国首位。125种国家重点保护野生动物、39种国家重点保护野生植物在自然保护区得到很好保护。截至2012年年底，西藏有天然草地面积8511万公顷，其中可用天然草地面积6910万公顷。目前，西藏仍是世界上环境质量最好的地区之一，大部分区域处于原生状态。
三、“中间道路”的实质是分裂中国
经过西藏各族人民长达半个多世纪的团结奋斗，西藏已经走上一条符合时代发展要求和人民根本利益的发展道路，取得了举世瞩目的发展成就。但是，十四世达赖集团出于“西藏独立”的政治目的，不仅从来对西藏的发展进步视而不见，而且还极力抹杀西藏各族人民的奋斗成果，试图否定西藏走上的正确道路。
Thanks to concerted efforts made by all parties concerned, great progress has been made in Tibet's ecological improvement. Currently, its nature reserves, which amount to 413,700 sq km, or 33.9 percent of the total land area of the region, lead the whole country. Its forest coverage rate reaches as high as 11.91 percent, and the region tops the whole country in total growing wood stock. Tibet boasts 6 million ha of wetlands, leading all the other areas of China. All the region's 125 species of wild animals and 39 wild plants under state protection are well cared for in the established nature reserves. By the end of 2012, Tibet had 85.11 million ha of natural grassland in total, of which 69.1 million ha was available for grazing. Tibet remains one of the areas with the best environmental quality in the world, with most parts of the region maintaining their original natural state.
III. The Essential Intent of the "Middle Way" Is to Split China
Following more than half-a-century's concerted efforts of the peoples of all its ethnic groups, Tibet has embarked on a path of development conforming to the times and the people's fundamental interests, and made tremendous strides forward. However, in their pursuit of "Tibetan independence," the 14th Dalai Lama and his supporters have always turned a blind eye to Tibet's development and progress, denying the achievements made by the people of Tibet and rejecting the sound path that Tibet has taken.
多年来，十四世达赖集团的“藏独”策略一直在不断变化。1959年3月，十四世达赖集团发动全面武装叛乱、失败逃往印度后，公开主张以暴力为手段实现“西藏独立”。20世纪70年代末之后，随着中美关系缓和，十四世达赖集团看到国际形势于其不利，开始变换策略，提出所谓“中间道路”，由公开独立转为变相独立。1989年苏东剧变后，十四世达赖集团错误地判断形势，以为实现“西藏独立”的时机到来，又提出实现“完全独立”。1994年之后，十四世达赖集团发现“西藏独立”无望，再次变换口径，重新捡起“中间道路”招牌，要求所谓“高度自治”。近年来，十四世达赖集团加大了对“中间道路”的鼓吹力度，并加紧进行包装。
“中间道路”，又称“中观道路”，本属佛教用语，十四世达赖集团却将其政治化。纵观“中间道路”，其核心有五条：一是不承认西藏自古是中国的一部分，宣称“西藏历史上是一个完全独立的国家”，“1951年被中国占领”，“从历史上看，藏人有独立的权利”。二是图谋建立历史上从来不存在的“大藏区”，宣称“西藏问题”是600万藏人的问题，要将西藏、四川、云南、甘肃和青海等藏族及其他民族聚居区合并在一起，建立统一的行政区。三是要求实行不受中央约束的“高度自治”，不承认中央政府的领导和西藏现行的社会政治制度，宣称建立“自治政府”，“除外交和国防，其他所有事务都由藏人(即十四世达赖集团)负责，并负有全权”。四是反对中央在西藏驻军，表面上认可中央负责国防，但又提出中国军队“全部撤出去”，把西藏变成“国际和平区”。五是无视青藏高原自古多民族杂居共处的事实，限制其他民族进入“大藏区”，驱赶在青藏高原世代居住的其他民族。
Over the course of the years, the Dalai group has kept modifying its tactics for "Tibetan independence." In March 1959, it fled to India after they failed in an all-out armed revolt that they launched; subsequently it began to publicly advocate "Tibetan independence" and tried to achieve it by force. In the late 1970s, when relations between China and the US improved, the Dalai group, finding that the international situation was unfavorable to it, started to alter its tactics, shifting its attempts from achieving open independence to achieving disguised independence by cloaking them with what is called the "middle way." After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the drastic changes in Eastern Europe in 1989, it again misread the situation and believed that the time was right, it began to demand "complete independence" once again. After 1994, having realized that there was no possibility of achieving this goal, it turned again to the "middle way" and began to lobby for what it now termed "a high degree of autonomy." In recent years, it has intensified its efforts to promote this "middle way" and to disguise it.
The "middle way," also known as the "way of meditation on the mean," is a Buddhist term. It is the Dalai group which has politicized it. Its claims can be summarized into five major points.
First, it denies the fact that Tibet has been an integral part of China since ancient times; instead it claims that Tibet was "an independent state" which was "occupied by China in 1951," and that "Tibetans have the right to independence from a historic perspective." Second, it seeks to establish a "Greater Tibet" that has never existed at any time in history, claiming that the "Tibet issue" concerns 6 million Tibetans and that Tibet, Sichuan, Yunnan, Gansu, Qinghai and other areas that Tibetans and people of other ethnic minorities inhabit in compact communities should be incorporated into a unified administrative region. Third, it demands "a high degree of autonomy" that is not subject to any constraint whatsoever from the central government, denies the leadership of the central government and Tibet's present social and political systems, and proposes to establish an "autonomous government" under which "Tibetans" (in truth the Dalai party) take full charge of all affairs other than diplomacy and national defense. Fourth, it opposes the central government to garrison troops in Tibet and, despite its superficial agreement that the central government holds the authority over national defense, it demands that the central government "withdraws all Chinese troops" to turn Tibet into an "international zone of peace." And fifth, in total disregard of the fact that the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has been a multi-ethnic region since ancient times, it denies the access of other ethnic groups to "Greater Tibet" and drives them out of regions where they have lived for generations.
