History As Propaganda: Tibetan Exiles versus the People's Republic of China ReviewThe author wanted to be neutral in his position presenting and commenting on the arguments from Chinese government and Tibetan government-in-exile. He criticizes the stupid propaganda made by Chinese government, but he seldom criticizes the deceitful propaganda by Tibetan government-in-exile, which uses "democracy" and "human rights" to plead their case of pursuing independence.

By now most Westerners probably think they understand the political situation in Tibet. But, John Powers argues, most Western scholars of Tibet evince a bias in favor of one side or the other in this continuing struggle. Some of the most emotionally charged rhetoric, says Powers, is found in studies of Tibetan history. narratives.
