Following China's invasion of Tibet in 1950, His Holiness was called upon to take complete political control. He visited Beijing in 1954 and met with Mao Zedong and other Chinese officials, including Deng Xiaoping and Chou Enlai. Finally, in 1959, as Chinese soldiers brutally suppressed the Tibetan national movement in Lhasa, His Holiness was compelled to flee into exile.
