in china minorities get their own autonomous provinces (e.g. Xinjiang for Uyghurs, Tibet for Tibetans) which would be like if the US gave the Navajo nation a whole state with their own autonomy

and their languages on currency

    Cool story bro, but I’ve been to Tibet. Autonomous is hardly the word I’d use to describe it.

    Did they "give the Tibetans autonomy" or just violently annex a weaker neighbor?

    That sucks. Slavery is the worst. Is that why China controls Tibet?

    Yes, idiot. The provisional government refused to abandon slavery and started shelling hospitals about it

    Pardon my ignorance, I can think of lots of colonies that could also have been justified under similar reasoning

    Like the British colony of Tibet, perhaps?

    Your ignorance is not pardoned, because you decided to shoot off anyway despite knowing nothing of the players or motives involved. No investigation, no right to speak
