In the early 1940s, the Chinese government sought to resolve a land dispute between two Tibetan chiefdoms. This dispute highlighted the challenges of asserting state control over nomadic pastoral societies and the complex interplay of political, religious, and ethnic factors in the Sino-Tibetan borderlands. Despite the Chinese Communist Party's claims of success, these disputes persisted, reflecting the incomplete nature of state-making in the region.
