I admit that I kind of evade that matter, as places outside China proper are not as homogeneous as one may expect. Also, the Chinese have themselves been conquered a few times. The difference between them and other conquered ethnicities is that they more often than not succeeded in assimilating whatever tribes conquering them instead of the other way round. The Turks narrowly escaped it by going West; the Uighurs... well, until now; and the Mongols by being the most self-aware.

O Lord our God arise,
Scatter His enemies
And make them fall;
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
God, save us all!
