During the 50 years since the democratic reform Tibet has undergone great changes with each passing day, and created miracles one after another. Tibet today has achieved economic development, social progress, strong border defense and ethnic unity while preserving the region's traditional culture. People of all ethnic groups in Tibet enjoy full freedom of religious belief and a steadily rising living standard. In tandem with economic, political, social and cultural development, the human rights cause of Tibet has made remarkable progress in an all-around way.
