Battle of Chamdo (1950)
On the Mao’s China map as “Chamdo”
7–19 Oct 1950 — About 40,000 PLA troops cross the upper Yangtze and surround Tibet’s eastern army of some 8,000 men at Chamdo; its governor, Ngapo Ngawang Jigme, surrenders. With its army broken and no help coming from Britain, India or the United Nations, the Lhasa government has no choice left but to negotiate.
