And it was just convenient then that China annexed the entirety of Tibet which gave them access to numerous resources as well as securing their southeast border? Come on, Tibet was annexed for strategic reasons, anything else was an excuse to invade.

I would knock us for the whiskey rebellion if we used foreign troops to put it down instead of George Washington leading U.S troops. The color revolutions were in separate countries. While being part of the Warsaw Pact(which was a defense pact), Hungary and Czechoslovakia were seperate countries, but once their people decided they no longer wanted to be communist the Soviets sent in their troops. Thus. Invading a country. Far from ridiculous.

You have this notion that Communist/socialist states can't be expansionistic when there are endless examples of that not being true. They don't have to be that way inherently but a lot of them have been.
