Low- level guerrilla activity, punctuated by occasional urban uprisings, continued throughout the 1950s, until the Tibetan revolt of 1959 spilt over into Sinkiang and created a real crisis of authority. Two main centres of disaffection were I-ning and Ta- ch’eng, both close to the Soviet border. en References
