Not a single country in the world has ever recognized Tibet as an independent country. Tibet has been universally recognized as part of China since it was conquered by the Mongols in the 13th century.

And this is irrelevant. If Tibetans think they are occupied - they are occupied. Others don't get a say.

I just want to point out that the Western concern about Tibetan sovereignty is hypocritical and rooted in propaganda.

You don't have to tell me about that. Especially since

... Kurdish ... sovereignty ...

Is being mentioned all the time as if sadly-sadly international law prevented them being independent from Turkey, but nothing is said about Western Armenia and Artsakh, because, well, Turks have already committed genocide there, so there is an actual hard argument against Turkish\Azeri sovereignty over anything Armenian. So if Kurds would have a real case, the mentions of them would suddenly disappear from politics. Cause those mentions are not about actually following any principles.
