Autonomous region of China whose capital is Lhasa (5)

I believe the answer is:

tibet

(Other definitions for tibet that I've seen before include "Nominally autonomous region of China" , "Himalayan region controlled by China" , "State" , "Nepal''s neighbour" , "Himalayan land" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
