Tibet is a part of China today. Whether Tibet should be a part of China is up for debate, but the fact that it has been completely integrated into the PRC for at least 70 years now isn't really. I'll be the first one to argue that the PRC's moral claim to the territory comes from it being conquered by the Mongolians during the Yuan dynasty is lame. But it still doesn't mean anything when China controls it today. And that's just the TAR, there are plenty of Tibetans living in areas of China that aren't very contested as not being part of China.
