The Chinese are aggressor nation, have been seen Genghis Khan. Even in our current modern world they just marched into Tibet and have taken over Tibet. That is the way of the Chinese, conquer, conquer and conquer some more.
The reason China is such a huge country. Everytime they take a country... they keep it. They never give up the land and will fight to keep it regardless of political, public or news media persuasions. They sure as heck haven't given up Tibet now have they? World opinion from all the world isn't making them change a thing. The Chinese have always been in their own world, and care less about the rest of the world. They do their own thing, regardless.
There is no way there is anything peaceful going to come of any military expansion by the Chinese, especially if they can integrate modern technology with their war machine.
That's how you teach people to hate. You make them identify with their enemy from childhood. Nothing, good can ever come from anything that portrays any other country (that actually exists) as an enemy to war against.

Gengis Kahn was NOT chinese. He was a mongolian - and your own country (russia), as well as Tibet and China are remains of the mongolian empire. So please don't mention Gengis and call the chinese agressors.
By the way, since ancient times china has practically not attacked a single territory. Tibet is special as it was basically surrounded by China.
Even tibet was already conquerored by a Khan, Güyük Khan. And considering you're Russian (as far as I know) it'd mean you're questioning your own countries origin as well.
Regarding the exception of Tibet you'd have to mention the east india company, which sought to circumvent chinas influence on their trades with Tibet. Another reason why things got more tense between Tibet and China.
The most obvious reason, for the downfall of Tibet, was the weakness of the Dalai Lama though. They all had very different skills and never had full control over Tibet. The chinese however were always under a relatively strong leadership and also had political influence over tibet, even stationed troops there. In fact they even protected the Dalai Lamas, provided escort etc.
The outcome was tragic, I agree. But on the other hand side you can't remotely compare this to for example Nanking or almost all other industrialized countries, including USA, Russia and Japan in past and present.
China was a very very very introverted country. Probably worlds most non-agressive country ever.
To make this even more obvious here is a rhetoric question for you: Why do you think did they build the wall around their country? To invade other countries and increase their territory?
As much as I am aware of the issues China, as many other countries, has today - the past was exceptional. They invented the gun powder but the first ones that put it to great use were the, today americans, against the native indians. To display China as an agressor nation is far from the truth and literally pure irony.
