近现代西方知识精英涉藏活动探析———以黎吉生为例于雪哲(新四军纪念馆,盐城224002)摘要:自18世纪末英国侵略中国西藏以来,一直企图将西藏置于自己的控制下。英国驻拉萨代表团便是这样一个独特的存在,代表团成员在西方学界统称为“西藏官员”,其中黎吉生是第一位英国驻拉萨代表团团长,也是最后一位撤出拉萨的“西藏官员”。他初次入藏就承担重大使命,阻挠九世班禅返藏,离间国民政府与噶厦政府的关系;再次入藏他便鼓动噶厦政府以独立国家身份参加“泛亚洲会议”,教唆噶厦政府挑起“驱汉事件”。他离开西藏后继续大放厥词,污蔑中国解放西藏的缘由,毁谤1950年前后西藏的变化。通过对他的分析有助于认清一些西方反华知识精英鼓吹“西藏独立”谬论的本质。关键词:近现代中国边疆安全问题;黎吉生;涉藏活动;中英关系中图分类号:K26文献标识码:A文章编号:2095-6916(2024)04-0009-05AnAnalysisofXizang-RelatedActivitiesofWesternIntellectualEliteinModernTimes—ACaseStudyofHughEdwardRichardsonYuXuezheTheNewFourthArmyMemorialHallYancheng224002AbstractSincetheBritishinvasionofXizanginChinaattheendofthe18thcenturyithasbeentryingtobringXizangunderitsowncontrol.TheBritishMissionatLhasawasonesuchuniqueexistencethemembersofwhicharecollectivelyreferredtoasXizangoffi-cialsinWesternacademiccircles.AmongthemRichardsonwasthefirstheadoftheBritishMissionatLhasaandthelastXizangoffi-cialtowithdrawfromthere.WhenheenteredXizangforthefirsttimeheundertookamajormissiontoobstructthereturnoftheNinthPanchentoXizangandtodisrupttherelationshipbetweentheNationalGovernmentandtheKashagGovernmentthelocalgovernmentofXizang.WhenheenteredXizangagainheencouragedtheKashagGovernmenttoparticipateinthePan-AsianConferenceasaninde-pendentcountryandinstigatetheKashagGovernmenttostiruptheeventoftheNationalGovernmentOfficialsbeingforcedtoleaveXi-zang.AfterhisdeparturefromtherehecontinuedtoslanderthereasonsforChinasliberationofXizangandthechangesthathadtakenplacetherebeforeandafter1950.AnanalysisofhimwillhelptoclarifythenatureofthefallacyofXizangindependenceadvocatedbysomeWesternanti-Chineseintellectualelites.KeywordsbordersecurityissuesinModernChinaHughEdwardRichardsonXi...
