Some of you people could start by looking at United Nations General Assembly Resolution 1353 (XIV), 1959, which you can see at <link>

This isn’t from Hollywood, or from starry-eyed Shangri-la groupies-notice the language of the resolution and that it includes the following—

“The General Assembly, Recalling the principles regarding fundamental human rights and freedoms set out in the Charter of the United Nations and in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the General Assembly on 10 December 1948
……….

Mindful also of the distinctive cultural and religious heritage of the people of Tibet and of the autonomy which they have traditionally enjoyed…

…..Calls for respect for the fundamental human rights of the Tibetan people and for their distinctive cultural and religious life.


Perhaps the key thing for this generally fairly dismal discussion is the recognition of “autonomy which they (Tibetans) have traditionally enjoyed.” THAT, of course, may fit into some sort of premodern imperial understanding which includes off and on some sort of Han Chinese, though more often Mongol or Manchu, political supremacy, as I have stated, but this does not at all translate into the idea that Tibet is a Chinese province, which is, in fact, the claim of the current Chinese government.
