    the Communists re-conquered it in 1949

    I suppose you think that the CPC "conquered" Beijing too. The communists didn't "conquer" shit, the revolution and subsequent liberation spread to those areas just as it had the rest of China.

      I guess if we're going to be particular about our terms it was ultimately neither conquered nor liberated but more or less passed over to the CCP by the Soviets

      Serious question: Are you pro-Soviet? If so, why did the state have to be liberated from Soviet backing?
