The upper-class reactionary clique of Tibet colluded
with rebels in the areas inhabited by Khampa people in extending the local
armed rebellion to a larger-scale rebellion in eastern Tibet. On March 10, 1959,
the upper-class reactionary clique, with the support of foreign anti-China
forces, launched a full-scale armed rebellion centered on Lhasa.
