imperial examination, mandarin officials, emphasise on confucian values

Well, we dun really have to dwell too much into the history specifics. Current independent countries are what they are now, not only because of history, but also because of either their military might or the general acceptance of the other countries with military might. An example of this is the United States. If history is to be regarded, they would still be under the United Kingdom and not independent now. Similarly, Taiwan is not able to declare independence now because of its inferior military (compared to PRC) and the non-acceptance of the majority of the other countries.
To reply to the 2 countries as u questioned, Vietnam and Korea have a nationalistic culture that allows them to tend towards independence, hence the Vietnamese and Koreans will not be willing to be subordinate to PRC.
As for Tibet, now is a struggle between the PRC central party and the separatists. If the separatists manage to convince enough of the Tibet people that they should be independent, then yes, they will fight to become independent. But if they can't and the PRC central party convinces enough of the Tibet people that Tibet is better off being part of PRC, then Tibet will not be independent. History plays less of an influence to whether a country is independent or not, than more tangible factors like military might, international relations, etc.
