In May 1951, the Central Government of the People’s Republic of China and the Local Government of Tibet signed the Agreement on Measures for the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet. In October of the same year, Dalai Lama sent cables to Chairman Mao Zedong, expressing his wishes to “safeguard the unification of the territory and the sovereignty of the motherland” “under the leadership of Chairman Mao and the Central People’s Government”.
