Of course Chinese laws have been imposed... It's part of China and always has been. Autonomous doesn't mean independent. Look at Catalonia in Spain. Are you saying they don't have Spanish laws imposed on them?
Also, you should find out some more info on Tibet. Not all laws in Tibet are the same as Mainland China. For example, the one child policy doesn't apply to Tibet. That in itself, just proves that it's more autonomous than most westerners, and Tibetans abroad would like to admit.
They also have Tibetan as their co-official language with Mandarin (which is far better than places like Algeria where Berbers have been there since the dawn of time, but are unable to get Berber as an official language. The best they can do is make it a "recognised" language, which is just an insult to must Berbers considering, genetically, over 70% of Algerians are Berber).
