A convenient paraphrase, but not quite truthful. Your own link says that Tibet was incorporated into the Yuan Dynasty in 1260. That's roughly 800 years ago. Read on McDuff.

  Incidentally, prior to that date Tibet was not a nation. If there is anyone who actually founded the nation of Tibet with governance, statehood and territories it is the Mongol Emperor, Genghis Khan, who installed a leader of his choosing to do his bidding. Coincidentally and ironically, that leader was the first, living Dalai Lama. There were some others who were backdated and elevated to this newly created and titled position but they had already been long dead prior to receiving their titles. The Dalai Lamas have always been politicians first and foremost. Now, the Genghis Khan of the today, the USA, wishes to repeat history and reinstall a Dalai Lama to do its bidding.
