I found there's one misconception about what ethnic people rule the continent of China. The Western media had kept saying Hans ... It is not Hans. The Chinese history has taught us before that it has been Hu ethnic tribe from Northern Mandarin speaking region who rule China since PRC took power. en.wikipedia.org Hans is descendant of Song Dynasty who was destroyed by Mongol. The Cantonese speaking people of Hans escaped from the Mongol ruler and fled into southern region. The Hans tribe ruled the Ming Dynasty. And after that the far northern outsider toppled Ming and ruled Qing Dynasty - the last empire until the civil war. The PRC was ruled by Hu people and the KMT (now taiwanese) was from Fujian region along the south central coastal China. The Hans was staying in the southern stronghold with Cantonese as main dialect. Tibetan was isolated people from the long lost western Tsang tribe around 2000 BC. It was during the Ming Dynasty that the Ming emperor gained recognition of Tibet and sent one of his princess to marry with a prince in Tibet. Since then, trading between the two regions had begun for another hundred of years. Tibet and the Ming Dynasty had been viewed as under one emperor ruler, before the dynasty was destroyed by the foreign Qing tribe from the north outside the Great Wall. en.wikipedia.org I think one has to know the Chinese language and know the Chinese culture well enough in order to fully understand the history of China. Otherwise, it is all guessing.
