Big brain take: I trust China to setup overnight some separate independent socialist state but I don’t trust China to actually govern the region like it has done for over 50 years now.
I don't trust it to do either, it's a bourgeois state and it'd set up a bourgeois state in this thought experiment. But it'd still be less of an imperialism.
Result: China gets balkanized but still has to support this territory for security and ideological reasons.
They don't have to do shit. They let Myanmar sink or swim, don't tell me they couldn't do the same for Tibet.
Conquering another country for "security reasons" is pure fucking imperialism, it's the same shitty reasoning used for the Japanese colonization of Korea and China. Not like it's even applicable here - it'd suicide to try an invade China through Tibet, the logistics are ridiculous.
