Why do people care about the Tibetans and Uyghurs but not the Mongolians? Free Inner Mongolia!

It was the manchu qing empire that annexed Tibet, not China proper.
Aiden Thomas
It was part of Communist China.
Soviet Union "liberated" them with "spontaneous uprisings" and Russia still supports Mongol independence after all the billions of Soviet rubles invested in terror and bribery.
Matthew Morris
Because they're the wealthiest region of China, after Shanghai
Noah Sanders
I thought he meant the PRC. The control of Tibet by the Qing was kinda weak anyways and they were invited to defend Tibet against Nepal.

>I imagine that if they tried annexing Mongolia the international community would stop them from doing so
Stop them how exactly?

Tibet only fell to china in the early 1800s then broke free in the early 1900s
Thomas Parker
No. Tibet has been under chinese control even before Mao got in power
Isaiah Reyes
Xinjiang is historically chinese. Only dumb jihadi turkics think they deserve independence.
Easton Morris
Actualy, the mongols even have quotes in universities
