What do you mean? China has bought Tibet from the British. And what have they done with Taiwan?

China invaded and annexed Tibet in 1951 [1].
You may be thinking of Hong Kong, which the British invaded and annexed from the Qing dynasty [2] and then handed back to China in 1997 [3] under conditions that Beijing defaulted on in 2019 [4].

Same as America has been doing with Greenland.

No, I was thinking about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_Between_Great_Brita...
The way I understood this treaty was that the global powers in 1906 (Russia and Great Britain) accepted Tibet as part of China without the need for a war.
In the context of your comment, you say the US and Russia attack sovereign countries and you mention Tibet and Taiwan in the same sentence. Sorry but Taiwan has not been invaded by China, and Tibet was at the time internationally agreed as being part of China (not that I agree with that). Not the same ballpark sorry.

So, nothing?
> So, nothing?
No. Threatening to invade a sovereign country, and then staging materiel to do it, is not "nothing." At the every least, it's something the U.S. (and China and Russia) once criticised others for doing. And it's something we've each done.
