baaaaaaaaaaah

Tibet was recognised by every country on the planet as sovereign Chinese territory, both then and today.

(That was also like 70 years ago, China's last war was against Vietnam in the late 1970s)

As soon as you are on top, your behaviour might change.

It might, it might not. America's behavior didn't change; from the start they've been aggressive and expansionist, the scope just grew as they became more powerful.

China's been growing rapidly for decades while very seldomly acting militarily outside their borders. They don't seem to have expansionist goals outside those declared over 70 years ago (ie Taiwan) and have even negotiated down on border conflicts. It's not impossible but it'd be strange for China to make a complete about-turn on their stated policy of non-intervention.

The research, which involved three separate studies, found that TikTok users were exposed to significantly less content critical of China compared to users of other platforms like Instagram and YouTube.

Does this really imply that TikTok is manipulated to be pro-China, or that Instagram and Youtube are manipulated to be anti-China?

TikTok users tended to have more positive views of China’s human rights record and were more likely to consider China a desirable travel destination.

Also based on this line in particular, it seems like they're marking travel content as "pro-CCP", which is just nonsense. Xinjiang and Tibet are objectively beautiful, desirable, and popular tourist locations, and Tiananmen is literally the country's second most famous tourist site after the Great Wall. That's fact, not 'the party line'.
