So I've been watching a YouTube channel called Little Chinese Everywhere. It's a Chinese woman who travels to all different regions of the country. Her videos on minority regions have been amazing, and demonstrate what socialist national liberation looks like in practice. In this video, she goes to a Tibetan city where, for four to six months of the year, the Tibetans leave the city and "play in the grasslands" - long extended summers spent entirely living in the traditional way, but without dependence on subsistence pastoralism. It ends up being a months-long social and cultural festival where all of their traditional lifeways thrive. Then, when the weather turns, they to back to the city and live a modern Chinese urban life (but still thoroughly Tibetan). Tons of her videos show this thriving of non-Han nations with autonomy over their land, lives, and development. It's genuinely moving stuff, and it seems like an excellent model for a socialist post-US and its native nations.

    you should watch more of her videos. I've been following since she did the video on tulou houses, and especially like the flow of videos before she gets the scooter. the earlier series where she travels from europe to china by land is also interesting. there's every indication that she simply makes these out of a passion for the work, imo. there are plenty of moments or topics that I wouldn't consider flattering of China or expect to be present if the goal is to fool westerners. I'd also expect the production value to be a tad higher if this was some sort of operation with ulterior motives lol.
