This study examines the Tibetan reports by Anna Louise Strong, a progressive American journalist in the 20th century. Through in-depth analysis of her representative works such as Interviews with Tibetan People and When Serfs Stood Up in Tibet, supplemented by historical archives, the research reveals her distinctive narrative strategies and social impact. The findings demonstrate that Strong’s reporting primarily depicted Tibetan society through three dimensions: institutional transformation, cultural preservation, and economic development. By conducting field investigations, she objectively documented the historical process of Tibet’s democratic reforms, providing invaluable firsthand materials for the international community to understand Tibet’s development. These reports not only rectified Western misconceptions about Tibet but also offered significant referential value for contemporary China’s international communication practices through their empirical reporting approach.
