Chinese settlements in Tibet

Since the 1980s, an increasing number of Han Chinese have migrated to or settled in Tibet, incentivized by Chinese government's development policies, major infrastructure projects, and initiatives to fortify areas close to the country's disputed border with India, as well as other economic and lifestyle opportunities. This has caused resentment among local residents. Various academics and Tibetan independence groups have also described the influx as a form of sinicization and settler colonialism.
