I'm not really sure what China's take is on Sinkiang, although I'd imagine it has to do with the fact that Sinkiang was a warlord state allied with the Soviets with Soviet troops stationed there. Tibet was pretty much a very underdeveloped theocracy and the PRC used that fact to their advantage to prove religion is backwards and that Chinese enlightened rule is better for the Tibetans than independence under the Dalai Lama. It actually helps China to recognise this as they can call the warlords side-effects of Kuomintang misrule and since most of them were alligned with the Kuomintang you can call their despotic rule actual Kuomintang policy as opposed to good Communist policy. The last thing the PRC government needs is having teenagers interact with a possibility of a democratic China / Kuomintang China as opposed to Maoist and Post-Maoist China.įrom what I know most warlord states and Tibet are recognised by the PRC as having existed as self-declared independent or autonomous entities.
