　　On May 23，1951，the Agreement of the Central People's Govern-ment and the Local Government of Tibet on Measures for the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet （the 17-Article Agreementy was signed. The people of Tibet broke free from the fetters of invading imperialism for good，em-barking on a bright road of unity，progress and development with all the other ethnic groups in China.Following the peaceful liberation，all the ethnic peoples of Tibet，united under the strong leadership ofthe Communist Party of China （CPC），have worked together in implementing the 17-Article Agreement，and stood firm in safeguarding national sovereignty，unity and territorial integ-rity. Together，they have：.carried out democratic reform to abolish Tibet's feudal theocratic serfdom，liberating millions of serfs and ensuring the fundamental interests of all ethnic groups in Tibet;.established the socialist system and implemented regional ethnic autonomy in Tibet，bringing historic changes to Tibetan society，and pressed ahead with reform，opening up，and modernization，signifi-cantly unleashing the productive potential and improving the livesand working conditions of the people in Tibet.In the new era，under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Com-mittee with Xi Jinping at the core and with the vigorous support of the whole country，Tibet has eradicated extreme poverty. Enjoying a stablesocial environment，economic and cultural prosperity，and a sound eco-environment，the people now lead better lives and live in contentment. A brand new socialist Tibet has taken shape.On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of Tibet's peaceful libera-tion，we are publishing this white paper to review Tibet's history and achievements，and present a true and panoramic picture of the new social-ist Tibet. This will help to counter the propaganda spread by a number of Western countries and their allies and provide the intemational communi-ty with a balanced account of the enormous transformation that has taken place in Tibet.
