LONDON, March 11 (Xinhua) -- A UK journal has published an article in its March issue to mark the 50th anniversary of the democratic reform in China's Tibet Autonomous Region, hailing it as "Tibet's liberation."

Lalkar (meaning "challenge"), a bi-monthly anti-imperialism journal published in Britain, runs an article titled "Celebrate the anniversary of Tibet's liberation!"

It reads: "March 2009 sees the fiftieth anniversary of the triumph of the socialist revolution in China's Tibet province. The decisive rout of the serf-owners revolt in March 1959 drew a line under centuries of feudal backwardness and decades of imperialist manipulation, most notably by Britain."

"By giving their support to the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and their battle to unify all the peoples of China under the common banner of socialism, the Tibetan masses broke with a whole epoch of subservience to slavery and serfdom," it adds.
