> There has never been any freedom given by China to Tibet.

It seems you completely ignored my remarks. 95% of Tibetans were serfs before reintegrate to China. After 1951, they became free people have the basic human rights. As in history, Both Yuan dynasty and Qing Dynasty have Tibet.

> Look at the US tariffs imposed on China.

US and China are in trade wars. Trump is playing the 'art of deal' game(not only to China but also Japan and other countries) and he is sending treasury secretary to China to negotiate. This has nothing to do with India/China conflicts or Maldive incidents.

China is still a developing country and it didn't show off to be a superpower. The major agenda is still developing its economy and addressing poverty.

Regardless all the challenges, 21st century can hold two most populous countries in the world.

The serf argument is a Chinese justification for invasion of Tibet. This has nothing to do with "human rights". It was a simple and plain invasion of another country which violated International Laws. You cannot shove that under the carpet with any sort of justifications: even if it is a dislike for social structure. If China really cared about the people of Tibet, it would have done what India did after East Pakistan liberation. It created Bangladesh and allowed the local people to rule themselves unhindered. India did not colonize Bangladesh. In fact, this "reintegration" argument is bogey. India could have used the same "reintegration" argument to justify colonizing Bangladesh as it once belonged to Hindustan in the ancient times. It did not. There is absolutely no justification for invasion and occupation of a territory.

Are you seriously telling me that the militarisation in disputed South China Sea is not showing off? How about building the CPEC across disputed territory? How about China trying to build roads in the Doklam region? Are all these part of it developing its economy and addressing poverty? Seems more like unwarranted expansion to me.
