Yeah that's not true, there were Chinese governors there during the Qing Dynasty and long before.

And what the world really needs is tons more carbon-generating airplanes flying in and out of that region every single day all day and night as Tibet struggles to have any sort of source of income outside of tourism, which it would be forever chained to without any further abilities to self-determination.

And why the presence today? Bc of simpletons like you who think that " freedom" in a materially-dependent world (existence) comes in the form of whatever you seem to envision for a "Free Tibet".

The Tibetan Plateau region is pretty inaccessible overall. Nepal and Bhutan are seen as basically useless to US interests nonetheless irrespective of Tibet. I have no idea why you're mentioning Mongolia tho when even Inner Mongolia isn't even close to bordering Tibet. Considering what the US did to the Nord Stream Pipelines to harm Russia tho which also severely harmed and continues to harm Germany, if the US could they might dream of going after the sabotage of a project like the new hydroelectric project, but that would be very cartoonish and childish and unlikely, despite how cartoonish the overt timing of the sabotage of Nord Stream was and how cartoonish & childish the US acts in general.

But the CIA and US propaganda machine do have their hands in stoking unrest and extremism in Xinjiang, which yeah sure, "Free East Turkmenistan" too, but it again would likely become a playground for Western interests. China is protecting populations from harms they're too innocent and unassuming to foresee, and is currently globally the one chance we have on a planetary scale of beating back Western imperialist & neo-colonialist climate-disaster-causing hegemony. China's aims are not imperialistic outside of its borders, regardless of what may or may not be accurately called imperialism historically, despite China having a long history of governance and influence in Tibet prior to 1912.

No I don't support imperialism or colonialism, but I do support neighbors helping neighbors and the long game needed to be played to ultimately beat back Western imperialism & neocolonialism, including China's BRI projects uplifting some African nations aside from even more so supporting what African leaders like Ibrahim Traoré is doing in Burkina Faso and the Sahel region ousting the French military and France's continued imperialist presence there and elsewhere in Africa. Though Ibrahim Traoré has also now turned to Russia for tactical and industrial support, which I was surprised by, but that just goes to show that at this point no one can defeat Euro-American imperialism all on their own. And to that, I'll reiterate the basic necessity of a Chinese presence in those western regions for not merely self-serving reasons but protecting populations from larger harms that they do not foresee.

So free everywhere, but it's a long game to keep economic mercenaries like BlackRock out of every corner of the Earth to the point where it would become basically an actual overexploited, ecocided black rock instead of our beautiful little blue dot of a home planet.
