Not really analogous situations, since whether you agree or disagree the Chinese claim that Tibet has historically been a part of China is at least not totally unreasonable.
America can't make any similar claims for [insert Latin American or Middle Eastern country they're intervening in this week].

Which model does China use for their claims? The only empire I can think of that would have owned Tibet would've held way more modern Asian countries I don't see China getting all fired up over.

American imperialism is far worse.

>implying
Latin America, Europe, the Pacific rim and the Middle East are just American tributary states.

Uh ... how about the Qing Empire, dude? You know, the dynasty that immediately preceded the RoC?
And in case you hadn't noticed, the Chinese (both flavors!) have had (and in most cases still have) disputed border claims with other contemporary nations that their territory historically overlapped with, e.g. India, North Korea, Bhutan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Mongolia, the Philippines, Japan, Malaysia, Tajikistan (and several other -stans), Bhutan, and of course Taiwan.
Fuck, it's harder to find countries in Asia that they HAVEN'T had border disputes with.

Not anymore. Trump is reigniting the anti american nationalist left in latin america.

Ummm, the Qing Empire, which the PRC inherited all legal rights from in 1971 according to the UN.

>LE COMMIES TOOK TIBET.
Try harder faggot.
Also Tibetans handed their own asses over because the Lamas destroyed the unified country in their shitty monastic wars that when the Gurkhas were taking a shot at creating an Empire, they ran screaming to the Qing Dynasty for help, who said they would, but only if they accept Chinese sovereignity.

A Nazi documentary mentions the Tibetan people fearing the Lamas' power to unleash demons.

Many people lived in destitute poverty. Tibet wasn't a free prosperous republic before the Chinese came. The Chinese have modernized it more than anyone else.
Had this not happened it probably would have resembled Bhutan today, only recently beginning to modernize and develop, and with minimal regulation or oversight, a burgeoning exploitation racket.

China has a history of coming to its tribute's territory dispute. Korea/Vietnam/Tibet/Mongolia/etc
