Well China always controlled Tibet for the past 700 years (longer than european settlers in NZ I'm sure), not to mention the Qing dynasty emperors quite liked Tibetan Buddhism. So the idea of territory suddenly declaring independence against the government all of a sudden didn't sit too well with the Chinese government.
You can say that's wrong etc. etc. bad Chinese government, bad bad bad. But really you have no moral leg to stand on as NZ certainly wasn't populated with white people 700 years ago.
Yes you can then say but that doesn't excuse the Chinese government etc. etc. what who cares.
