Actually, it's the other way around. Tibetans enjoy a far greater representation in the CCP than normal Han Chinese. Han Chinese were brought in to get the local economies going until such a time that normal Tibetans can take over. That point has long been since past.
What is also not in dispute is that the Tibetan Red Guards (made up from Tibetan youths) destroyed most of Tibetan heritage. A collective denial is in place blaming Han Chinese Red Guards for the destruction.
The Red Guards were Mao's personal youth army who were to spread the word of the Little Red Book during the Great Proleterate Cultural Revolution. The Tibetans were no more immune to that great national insanity than anyone else.
My point here is that the Dali Lama will not return to Tibet. The Tibetans have long since lost their belief in living gods.
