why didn't china invade them after/before the annexation of the Tibet
>>16538039because they were protected by the Soviets
>>16538043what about 1991-present
>>16538044What could they possibly hope to gain from annexing a country that's mostly underdeveloped and wasteland?
>>16538048what they gained from eastern turkistan and the tibet, unless...
>>16538044no point since it would cause potential international backlash and thus a massive lost in investments, and by that point nobody in the CCP really cared about Mongolia anymore and even to this day nobody really cares since its not worth the trouble
>>16538052To my understanding, nothing from either of those regions. I've never heard my government say "China shouldn't have either eastern turkistan or Tibet" the same way they REALLY don't want China to have Taiwan which leads me to believe there's not shit there worth depriving them of.
>>16538048>90% agricultural lands>high elevation>cold weatherI'm sure if you dropped a few hundred Dutch or German people in Mongolia and left them alone they would develop into a superpower in a 100 years or so. The mongolian plains are perfect for developing huge factories, megacities, and nuclear reactors.
>>16538063when's the last time (russia-iran-china...) gave a shit about 'international backlash'
>>16538067Something tells me if developing Mongolia was that easy, someone would have come along during the 1000+ years of Chinese history to do it.
>>16538044They already have their hands full trying to sinicize Xinjiang and Tibet, so there is no incentive to annex Mongolia... yet...
>>16538080>Something tells me if developing Palestine was that easy, someone would have come along during the 1000+ years of Palestinian history to do it.You can develop a fully modern society in a fucking desert. Plains must be godly for rapid human civilization acceleration.
>>16538083you'd think xinjiang and the tibet should have already lost their culture/language knowing the type of government china is
>>16538044There’s a pretty strong argument that centuries of Russian influence have made Mongols much more like Central-Asians / Eurasian civilisational entity more then the ‘Sinic’ people they used to be.Remember that using ‘traditional mongol script, similar to Turkic languages in Central-Asia is a post 1991 identity LARP, Kinda like speaking Gaelic in Ireland, The USSR basically deleted their languages and made them write in Slav-Scratch.
>>16538084it might have to with the fact palestine had access to the med
>>16538044China isnt an expansionist power. The last time they expanded their borders they simple purchased the land from Tajikistan. Expansionist China is a meme.
>>16538324and israel gets infinite us aid>>16538330chinks see every land a chinese soldier sat foot in as chinese land
>>16538324It's simply a matter of industrious people taking over. Roman Judea had a population of 2-5 million in 66 AD. Meanwhile, centuries of Arab rule meant that Judea suffered extreme desertification and an inability to grow its population, being only 757k (including Jews) by 1922. The region wouldn't reach its Roman-era population until mass jewish immigration in the late 40s and 50s.
>>16538345>chinks see every land a chinese soldier sat foot in as chinese landAnd do nothing about it for a century. So what?
>>16538360are you retarded? before the prc, its literally called, the EMPIRE OF CHINA,
>>16538039It was a Soviet client state and both the Republic of China and Peoples Republic of China recognised it. PRC opted to just leave it alone.
>>16538044Because annexing a UN recognized nation worked so well for Iraq
>>16538371When is the last time China conquered clay?
>>16538067>90% agricultural landsFucking retard detected
>>16538465Tibet I guess, some land from India in Kashmir, some island and border regions from Vietnam. Did occupy Mongolia for a year during the warlord era.
>>16538063Wait, you mean to tell me invading a country can cause an international backlash?I thought that was just jewish subversion
>>16538043fpbpROC tried the same before but got beaten by....
>>16538039>>16538052Rivers sustaining India and China start in Tibet so it was prudent to take control of it. Mongolia on the other hand is not only useless but also was part of soviet union in all but name during cold war. Mongolian puppet leaders even pleaded the Soviets to anexxed them. As to after cold war it simply wasn't worth it since money from the west would stop coming if they lost reputation
