By your logic Bear you might as well just say "Stuff Britain, it's a region of the EU!"
You have confused about the idea of a nation with other political concepts. Modern International relationship functions with nation states being the basic unit. This is also reflected in the way how international laws recognised by the UN are constructed.

Britian is a nation. EU is an international political and economic community. Tibet issues are internal affairs of China. Thats not something very hard to work out.
