Actually, other than the two countries closer proximity, the USA could make a similar argument. Iraq was conquered by our ally and progenitor, the British empire during WW1.
Tibet and China were conquered by the Mongol empire founded by Genghis Kahn.
Claiming that because nation state 1 and nation state 2 were both conquered by nation state 3, one belongs to the other conquered land is a flimsy stretch taken back to 1918, and even flimsier when pulled all the way back to 1354.
The entire world outside of China saw Mao Zedong ordering the Chinese army's bloody invasion of Tibet in 1950 as one nation state grabbing another sovereign state by military force. However superior the Chinese Communist Party thinks its rule may be to that of a living Buddha, they have no right asserting that superior idea on another land by force of arms.

You were ashamed of the way the native Americans were treated. But you don't think the native Americans should now declare independence from Britain and kick all others out, right? In this case, there's clearly an invasion in modern human history by people who now call themselves Americans. But Tibet has always been part of China, only that the Dalai Lama had taken advantge of China's troubled times to make himself more powerful and like king there. And, the U.S had taken advantage of that to cause trouble for China. And, there are people who have been indoctrinated and blinded and so have the gut to join the politicians of their country for victimization.

This is the mythology but it is incorrect. Tibet was never a sovereign state, your very own links support this, yet you keep repeating it. As for the "bloody invasion" and the Dalai Lama being the "living Buddha" you are seriously off with the fairies. Read history, not hysterical fanatical propaganda.

Wrong. The history (not mine) shows that Tibet was a nation state on and off throughout history and had leaders and territorial sovereignty many times before the birth of Ghencis Kahn.
The fact that the Mongol Empire defeated both modern Tibet and the core area of modern China doesn't in any way make Tibet part of China, so your claim of 800 years of Chinese rule is ridiculous. The Tibetans regained territorial control numerous times after the demise of the Mongol empire and had many sovereign leaders. The end of that sovereignty started in 1950 with Mao's invasion, and ended in a pool of blood in 1959 when all attempts at reconciliation broke down. That's what the history actually shows.
Your twisting of facts and selective reading of history shows you to be a shill for the Chinese Communist leadership. Perhaps our CIA is attempting to help the Dalai Lama. If so, good for them. I hope that the talks at least allow the Tibetans to preserve their unique culture.

The history you say is not yours has no source. If you could at the very least do that you would establish some credibility. As for the CIA doing some good, when has that ever been the case?
I fully understand why you dismiss me as a shill as it requires no further critical thinking on your part that could just undermine your indoctrination. Your blinders are up as its too challenging to go beyond such comfort zones. When in doubt fall back on the propaganda you know. It's safer that way.
