Balances up some of the clap trap peddled by Western media.

Since at least 1300 AD, Tibet has been mainly a part of China. It was one of the last fiefdoms of abject servitude draged hissing and screaming into the 20th century. Prostrating one self before a god may be fine. Prostration before a human is not!
