I Cast Fist“Become a world power”
You know, we’ve had that experience before, “everywhere else” would pretty much prefer that didn’t happen again, thank you very much.
𝔽𝕩𝕠𝕞𝕥Seriously. Why do people genuinely think this is a good idea? Colonialism and imperialism is bad.
People should have learned after the US’s faults, and overreliance of it due to being a world power; but people just want to do it again???
Yes and no. Countries like Russia and China are always going to exist. That means places like the Philippines, Taiwan, Ukraine, and Georgia are always going to need a strong ally if they don’t want to be invaded. There are a lot of countries that are going to be very worried now that America has turned heel (Especially Taiwan). Europe has mostly grown out of the need for constant expansion, so having them take on the role of world police wouldn’t be the worst thing to happen.
Uh… How exactly is China historically expansionist? Isn’t Europe much, much worse by any metric at basically any point of history you choose?

Tibet used to be a seperate contry. The Uygurs were a Turkic Khanate to themselves.
Bejing’s aim is to homogenise those regions instead of preserving their culture and integrate them further economically to China as a whole, which would have the benefit of improved economic outcomes to both “parties” and maintain arts, culture and liberties of the people there.

Tibet used to be a feudalist dictatorship where 80% of the population were essentially slaves legally bound to the land of landowners.

How many official languages are there in your country?

a million billion
Nah, I’m not doing a whataboutism, I’m saying that your white ass doesn’t have a remote understanding on what “homogenisation” means. Go to a history museum in China, and in most exhibits they’ll have some remarks of the history in different places of modern China, and to the different ethnicities of the country, to the point that it would be categorised as PC-inclusivism in the west. And they don’t have a far right party fighting to destroy that :)
Not to mention China making artificial islands around it’s coast line to expand it’s territory. Boarder clashes with India, territorial disputes with the Philippines, taking over Hong Kong, and ofcourse the constant threatening of taking over Taiwan.
AntiOutsideAktionTibet used to be a seperate contry
300 years ago
and the rest of my post regarding how they’re being treated?
As far as I know, they Tibetans still speaking Tibetans and practicing their own religion, unlike Okinawans or ainus in Japan who culture and language got wiped out so clean that they couldn’t even sing their old folk songs in their native languages.
Tibet has not been a functioning separate country at any point in recent history. Secondly, there is no homogenization occurring. China has made extensive efforts to continue to teach Mongolian and Uyghur in schools for example
Annexation of Tibet (1950-1951)
Invasion of Paracel Islands (1974)
Southern Mongolia Annexation (1947-1949)
Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands Dispute: China claims the Senkaku Islands (Diaoyu Islands), which are currently controlled by Japan but also claimed by Taiwan.
PROC claims Taiwan as a province, but Taiwan operates as a de facto independent country.
South China Sea (Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia), PROC claims nearly the entire South China Sea under its “Nine-Dash Line”, leading to conflicts with Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, and others.
India - China claims Arunachal Pradesh as “South Tibet.”
But it’s important to point out that “China” isn’t a country, rather a region. The country people generally refer to when they say “China” is the PROC. If you go back 1000 years there was no “China” country, there was the Ming Empire in the China region. I understand this perspective bothers people, but consider this, if you need to reduce countries to regions then you’re going to be bothered for the rest of your life.
Annexation of Tibet (1950-1951)
Southern Mongolia Annexation (1947-1949)
Civil-war era. Calling the liberation of Tibet expansionism is wild.
The rest are basically border conflicts which literally every country in the old continent have.

You’d be hard-pressed to find a big country with such preservation of language, traditions, culture, architecture and artistic styles, etc. the way China does, idk what’s your point
You don’t know much about history of China do you?
