    Honestly, France has been doing this for 2 centuries now. Is it bad because China is doing it?

      Tibet was it’s own country until China communists conquered it in 1951.

      Weird how nobody ever talks about that…

      in the 50s France was dumping it’s colonies.

      So its OK then that France did that? You can’t excuse one instance of imperialism and complain about another. All Imperialism is bad, regardless of who is doing it to whom.
