Nice thought, Quanders - but China actually annexed the whole of Tibet in 1951 - The Moon was published in 1966, fifteen years after China actually did control the country.

I always imagine that Greater China, as RAH envisionaged it, would include Korea, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and down through the Malay Peninsula. etc...isn't there a mention of Australia being part of it as well?
