All terrible πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ takes, all the time.

Takes do not have to be Ukraine/Russia related. Any bad take from a πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ will suffice.

So if Chinese are behind the pre-PRC tibetan customs why is even the entire Tibet fuss about?

It's even funnier when you remember that the title and office of Dalai Lama has originated from Mongols. And "Dalai" in tibetan means roughly the same thing as "Genghis" in mongolian.

It's from the turkic word "tengiz" meaning "sea" or "ocean", but it's often used as metaphor for "vastness" or "all", thus "Genghis Khan" means "Universal Ruler". It's btw pronounced more like "Chingis Haan"
