excuse me! Are u Chinese?!Tibet was never conquered by China they merged when a Chinese princess married a Tibetan king, and it was that princess that brought Buddism to tibet!
That's one version of the story, but I've heard many already.

Besides, if it's true it only sort of proves how the Dalai Lama isn't anywhere near the 'rightful leader' of Tibet anyways... but that's less the problem as the whole conflict definitely revolves around mainly the resources of Tibet, aka lots of money and power, if you ask me.
