    By your definition, it was, though. The PLA liberating Tibet from a slave-driven feudalism isn’t Imperialism either, especially considering the PRC doesn’t underdevelop Tibet and use it as a hub of extraction.

      The world doesn’t depend on MY definitions, luckily.

      Also that is still imperialism, no matter how hard you try to come up with a definition that can fit your narrative. Sorry.

        By what metric? What are you talking about? You’re using a definition of Imperialism that not even liberals use, so when we say “China isn’t Imperialist” and you claim it is by using metrics you invent, we are talking past each other, not to each other.
