I don't think China had a criteria to conquer Buddhist countries. I think the natural geography (e.g. mountainous) of Bhutan and Nepal hindered China's hegemonic desires.
Tibet was a thorn in its side. Bhutan is a pocket kingdom filled with huge phalluses. The Chinese are puritanical and repressed and scared of huge peens.
