Those who have watched the Hollywood movie "Seven Years in Tibet" should have remembered how the movie demonized PLA and CCP. Since the movie was adepted from the book, one would think those should have been taken from the book. No, that is not the case. Those were completely Hollywood fantasy and made-up. In that whole book, there is only one paragraph talked about PLA and Chinese gov. Just for the record, it is as follows:

SEVEN YEARS IN TIBET, BY HEINRICH HARRER
TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN BY RICHARD GRAVES
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY PETER FLEMING
PUBLISHED BY PUPERT HART-DAVIS, SOHO SQUARE LONDON 1953

PAGE 275

“In 1910 the invading Chinese had plundered and burnt when they came to Lhasa, and the inhabitants were paralysed by the fear that these outrages would be repeated. Nevertheless it is fair to say that during the present war the Chinese troops had shown themselves disciplined and tolerant, and Tibetans who had been captured and then released were saying how well they had been treated."
