"Upon invasion of Tibet by China, the name of the region was changed to Xikang Province (西康省 Xīkāng Shěng). It was, however, only a "special administrative district" until 1939 [dubious – discuss], when it became the status of a Chinese province - nominally and without much cohesion."

Tibet was invaded/occupied/liberated in the 1950s. Secretlondon (talk) 12:01, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Xikang_Province explains it. Half of it was previously part of China. The territory west of the Yangtze River became part of a separate Qamdo Territory in 1950, and was merged into the TAR in 1965. Secretlondon (talk) 12:05, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
