At the same time, residents in Tibet have the right to participate in the management of state affairs and independently manage the affairs of the region. The Tibet Autonomous Region, like other regions in China, has institutional guarantees and policy preferences.

Since the establishment of the Tibet Autonomous Region 70 years ago, the Central Government of China has formulated many special preferential policies for Tibet to help the region develop better.
