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.

another good one in a similar vein (showing the sides of China that are harder to see on the US internet) is this American who moved there to do environmental science work. She learned Chinese to interact with her co-workers and eventually found better employment in China. Had a Chinese BF or husband for awhile, think they broke up. A lot of people think she's Russian lol.
