| It all seems like a strategic decision to me: Tibet (more specifically, the Tibetan Plateau) is a wonderful fortress against incursions from the West, which, for China, is pretty much everyone. At the same time, it's a wonderful place from which to attack China. China doesn't really need it, but if they leave Tibet to its own devices, they may be conquered by someone else, then used as a base from which to attack China. If China does have it, it makes them ever so much more defensible.
No politics, no religion, no commerce: just look at a geographic map of the region, and think where you'd put your armies to defend China.
