>>512742024I understand that you're American, as such I will provide a historical recount of what the American geopolitical strategy is for getting casus belli (that means "publicly acceptable reason to apply military force" in american). Yes, it will be heavily biased, if you wanted an unbiased version you'd seek out the knowledge yourself.
Step one is to insert glow in the dark motherfuckers who, instead of bringing guns, ammunitions, and general propaganda, they bring entire boatloads of money. I'm talking enough money to make the DoD sweat.
Step 2 is finding the local dissidents and give them all this money, give them contact to the nearest british contacts, and then have them begin gathering manpower through propaganda (because local propaganda works better than posters with made in america printed on them - though these days they're probably made in china to begin with)
step 3 is to wait for the popular movement to turn into a political insurrection, with the inevitable crackdown
step 4 is to immediately frame this as a legitimate separatist movement, then bring an aircraft carrier right off the coast/nearest american airforce base (trust me, there's enough american airbases to go around)
step 5 is to watch as the popular movement topple the local government, then you recognize this new state and use your glowies to establish friendly relationships (and of course, build airbases - to both secure the sovereignty of this new state as well as to further dissect the next target in the country).
The only reason why none of this worked is because uyghur and tibet are in remote places, and china spent a significant chunk of its airforce since the 90s (since the 60s if you count taiwan) telling the US airforce to fuck off from the south china sea.
Now, tell me again that the US wouldn't invade china if it had the chance.
