I know their use case but I have no idea what it means for a region to be autonomous. Just how independant are they? What rights do they have? How are they still part of this state? How are they different from something like a canadian province or US state?

Wikipedia was little help as usual and prolewiki doesn't ever define an autonomous region afaik

I'm specifically referring to the modern day autonomous regions of china

I assumed USSR tbh but that might make more sense
