1.They were not.Mongols are not Chinese. Tibetans are also not Chinese. Uighurs are also not Chinese. China is much smaller than PRC.
Now,some of them might think they are not ,but the other think they are.
in the future, all of them will think they are.
2. the same case happened to Manchuria and other ancient "Non-Han ethnic" such as Huns,Xianbei,Turks and Chathy。
Early after they invaded and conqered Han people, they were not "CHinese".
But soon, Most of them adopted Chinese scripts/ Mandarin/confucian and forgot/abandoned their native scripts/languages/religions. They were sinized and became "Chinese".
Manchus are more "chinese" than Han now.
3. Mongols\tibet\Urghurs are being sinization and at last most of them would adopted Chinese scripts/ Mandarin/confucian and forgot/abandoned their native scripts/languages/religions,just as Manchus/Chathy.
as long as they want to live in CHina, they are destined to be sinized and accept thay are CHinese.
