Another thing largely tolerated in pre-Chinese Tibet was slavery. Which also stopped very quickly after 1950.

There are priorities. Chinese broke something of a lesser priority (free press), while providing something of a much higher priority (abolition of slavery).

It’s funny that in America we got those values inverted - freedom of the press first, and equality for other races and cultures much later. Both China and America are still dealing with their legacies of human rights violations, which continue in both countries today.

True but that came at the cost of being subservient to the CCP.
