My first impression is that changing "Tibetan-led" to "Tibetan-trained" will bring this a lot more into line with what I'd expect. It fits the tropes of a lot of Chinese popular fiction: patriotic hero moves to the edge of China and spends life training to free the country.
I'll run it by my Chinese friends and get their take on it — I think they'll be able to spot the source of the cognitive dissonance fairly quickly.
