    How exactly is China historically expansionist?

    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.

          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 used to be a seperate contry

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