以下是摘录自这篇文章中的一段　　Tibet’s raw minerals treasure　　
　　Tibet is of strategic import to China not only for its geographical location astride the border with India, Washington’s newest anti-China ally in Asia. Tibet is also a treasure of minerals and also oil. Tibet contains some of the world's largest uranium and borax deposits, one half of the world's lithium, the largest copper deposits in Asia, enormous iron deposits, and over 80,000 gold mines. Tibet's forests are the largest timber reserve at China's disposal; as of 1980, an estimated $54 billion worth of trees had been felled and taken by China. Tibet also contains some of the largest oil reserves in the region.10　　　　

And situated as it is, on the “roof of the world,” Tibet is perhaps the world’s most valuable water source. Tibet is the source of seven of Asia's greatest rivers which provide water for 2 billion people.” He who controls Tibet’s water has a mighty powerful geopolitical lever over all Asia.　　　　

西藏拥有世界最大的铀矿，硼矿，世界上一半的锂矿，亚洲最大的铜矿。喜马拉雅的雪山是亚洲多条大江大河的源头。占领了西藏就意味着拥有对亚洲的巨大影响力。
