The Chinese policy isn't even about any legitimate claims on the land. It's just another facet of the Chinese government claiming total ownership of all ethnic groups they consider part of China, everywhere across the globe. (and also wanting the land for military purposes)
Tldr the Chinese government believes it gets to force everybody who they think belong to them how they get to think and feel "One key policy for Xi Jinping, China’s president, is the “sinicisation” of China’s ethnic minorities – ie, assimilating their cultures as far as possible"
