Despite the claim of historicalsovereignty by the CCP and Chinas egalitarianpolicies over ethnic minorities, the legitimacy ofthe CCPs rule of the area is still questioned. Thelegitimacy of rule lies in peoples trust and supportof the regime. Voluminous research seeks todemonstrate the political support that Tibetan peoplehave for the CCP regime. Little of it, however, isbased on public opinion through empirical studies.Empirical studies are needed to explain the originsof community identity and political support in Tibet.This book suggests that language choice is a reliableindicator of community identity in Tibet fortheoretical, historical, and practical reasons.Tibetan, Mandarin, and English are three languagechoices that are used to indicate three identitiesand three political communities in this paper.
