Yes. In reality, the current Chinese government suppresses a bunch of evidence that Tibet used to be an empire. It was an Empire for more than 10 centuries until the 1950's or 1900's (no one is sure because China says it always ruled Tibet, then said 1900, but Tibet says 1950's) when the Chinese forces conquered Tibet even though Tibet signed a treaty once with Mongolia stating it was its own country before. Found all of this from Wikipedia, a lot of other documents around the web supports Tibet to used to be a country. The sad part is, my Dad is Chinese, and even he thinks that Tibet was never a country and thought Chinese ruled it all the time. Must've been the government that taught him that, because he was born in China. China sometimes goes overboard with lies and such, and I'm saying this even though I Chinese!!!!!
