Is Tibet an independent country?

Just like above, is it?

It's part of china, hence the 'free tibet' movement.

Thanks Cyrus.
That's what my movie says. I'm watching "Tibet, Cry of the snow lion"
I'm not sure how old it is, so it could be that Tibet has gotten its independence ever since.
Has Anyone watched it? Good documentary movie. 'd like to watch?

Tibet is not independent. It is administrated by China, but Tibetans like to say they are independent.

China's invasion by 40,000 troops in 1950 was an act of unprovoked aggression. There is no generally accepted legal basis for China's claim of sovereignty.

There's loads of info on that site.
