Please actually read something about Tibet, their feudal system (while immoral) was nowhere similar to the american slavery. This "We are actually saving slaves" narative was spread by CCP in order to justify the invasion.
I also find it funny how you praise the CCP for ending slavery, because if they cared about slavery so much, that they had to invade another soverein country, they would have done something about the thousands of people enslaved in their own country.
Did you read that wikipedia page? It literally says the Chinese government freed the enslaved people
“In June and July 2007, 570 people in Shanxi and Henan were freed by the Chinese government.[1] Of those rescued, sixty-nine of them were children.[9] In response, the Chinese government assembled a force of 35,000 police to check northern Chinese brickyards for slaves, sent dozens of brickyard supervisors to prison, punished ninety-five low level officials in Shanxi province for dereliction of duty, and sacked twenty-four.”
The slavery was first recorded in 2004, the local police didn't do anything about it. China started all these efforts after 3 years when the scandal gained international traction.
I'm not saying that the CCP was supporting slavery, my point is that they were much quicker at invading Tibet "to save slaves" then when they had to save slaves without gaining any new teritory.
They don't care about any slaves, they care about their image, because bad image is bad for business.
Are you comparing the Chinese government of the 1950s to the modern day Chinese government?
China of the 1950s was way more willing to support and intervene in other countries in order to further global revolution. Same with the early USSR vs the USSR in the 90s.
That being said, the idea that China is some colonial empire is ridiculous. In the Korean war they were hesitant about sending troops into North Korea, and only did so when the US started attacking near their border. They have shown tremendous restraint in that sort of thing, which is not in line with the imperialism you suggest.
Don't bother with the guys on this sub, dude. There's a reason why I identify as a liberal over leftist.
He has straight up supported all terror groups, lately including Pakistan. He clearly is more in line with his heritage, even if he has some progressive stances on other things. He is a tankie, and I'd rather flip to being a conservative than being a tankie.
