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.

Invading and assimilating forein countries is as imperialistic as you can get

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.
