I still don’t get how the world cares so much about conflicts in other parts of the world but ignores the colonization and takeover of Tibet by the CCP

It happened more than 70 years ago. What would be the point? I remember my mum wearing a Free Tibet t-shirt in the 90s, but even then it was a fait accompli.

the history of thibet is full of endless raiding and invasions by the thibetans on there low land niehbors, though they have been conquored themselves and the very title of dalai was created by a mongol emperor who controlled most of inner aisia in the late 1500's and so depending on where in history someone chooses to begin there arguments as to legitemacy is of course less meaningfull than the facts on.the ground, same with borders attempting to magicaly change demographics, if you dont have both, you have nothing.
