I’m learning a lot about Marxism recently and this Donetsk and Luhansk situation has made me think more about Seperatists. I’m not pro-taiwan, not pro-HK, not pro-tibet, I’m mostly pro-China, but I don’t have a good understanding of the area and there’s sooo much history in the region. Basically TL;DR, why should I primarily be against these Separatists if I would be pro-Donetsk,Luhansk, thanks. Btw I’ll make it clear I’m not for taiwan or tibet as the title might suggest, that may look confusing

Under Chinese rule, the life expectancy of Tibetans increased. It is an autonomous zone. It's quite productive. It is no long under the slave rule of the Dali Lama. He admitted he owned slaves and "pwomises" that he would install a democratic government upon his return and free his slaves.

I’m pro China, but this is a weak argument. This is the same shit colonialists said when they colonized countries (not saying what China is doing is Colonialism, just your argument is close to the “white mans burden” type argument).

Colonizers said they uplifted and increased standard of living and liberated people from tribal societies etc.

Colonizers said whatever would make themselves feel better about exploiting the land, resources, and labor of the people they colonized. Their motivation for "liberating" people was always exploitation. China didn't do that with Tibet.
