Yes, it is typical of the West to portray China as a xenophobic bully and hellbent on segregating and destroying Tibetan culture and so forth.
Which is particularly ridiculous considering the wholesale segregation and destruction imposed on native American and aboriginal Australian cultures and peoples, among others, by barbaric, Jewish-Christian Western colonialists.
“From the colonial period of the early 1500s through the twentieth century, the indigenous peoples of the Americas have experienced massacres, torture, terror, sexual abuse, systematic military occupations, removals of Indigenous peoples from their ancestral territories, forced removal of Native American children to military-like boarding schools, allotment, and a policy of termination.”
“Thornton describes as genocide the direct impact of warfare, violence and massacres, many of which had the effect of wiping out entire ethnic groups.”
“By 1900 the indigenous population in the Americas declined by more than 80%, and by as much as 98% in some areas. The effects of diseases such as smallpox, measles and cholera during the first century of colonialism contributed greatly to the death toll, while violence, displacement and warfare by colonizers against the Indians contributed to the death toll in subsequent centuries”.

owever, that is just one side of the story and the truth of the matter is really not as bad because the Chinese do much to develop the Tibetan areas, building infrastructure,schools and bringing tourists to the area while developing the local economy and as a result, bringing much needed jobs.
The benefits of being included in the great Chinese culture and civilization are not only economic, as described by you, but also religious and cultural, as the many ethnic groups within China enjoy the freedom to develop their own cultural and religious ancestral traditions, free from the interference of both Christian missionaries with their forced and maliciously induced conversions, and the egotistical, individualistic, privatizing, capitalist ideologies which characterizes Western, Jewish-Christian colonization.
It must be noted that the Tibetans are a minority and in a bid to secure themselves in the region, the central Chinese government had brought in a huge migration of Han Chinese to the area. Competition from the Chinese masses had inadvertently sidelined the Tibetans. This does not necessary mean that they are deliberately left out.
Right, which could not be said about the native American or aboriginal Australian populations, for instance, deliberately left out by the huge migration of Jewish-Christian, European invaders into the formers' ancestral lands.
Bottom line, what you called the typical way of the West to portray China as a “xenophobic bully” is just a propagandistic myth aimed at covering the Western, Jewish-Christian, own brutal, ruthless, genocidal attitude towards foreign cultures, religions, and peoples.
