Tibet: 700 years under central government

The State Archives Administration on Monday published historical records that showed Tibet has been under the jurisdiction of the central government for more than 700 years, since the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368).

The archives, including 15 official documents about the conferring of titles upon Tibetan officials and the central government setting up offices in Tibet, were published on the administration's website (www.saac.gov.cn).

"These are just a tiny part of the historical records," Yang Dongquan, the administration's director, said.
