More exactly, it represents national standards bodies, only some

Do you have evidence for this story?
IMHO Tibetan didn't make it into 10646:1993 because it's a hairy
script, not because of Chinese interference. (It is now in
by amendment). Unicode got involved between DIS-1 and DIS-2,
well before the publication of the unamended standard.
