    The 1950 invasion was a military annexation by the PLA, not a domestic Marxist uprising.

    Tibet wasn’t militarily annexed in 1950, because it was never officially independent. It was annexed in 1720 by the Qing Dynasty and only briefly splintered into an autocratic theocracy during the civil war.

    Indonesians chose English for global trade while maintaining their state language. Tibetans face structural coercion

    You must be joking.

    Which Fortune 500 companies allow you to speak Indonesian exclusively?

    Tibetan is dying out as a language because the Tibetan nationalists never bothered to build up educational infrastructure when they were in charge.
