Moving the goalposts. What you said was:

Right a power drawing a line on a map claiming land and then enforcing that claim via violence totally isn’t colonialism.

“Switzerland” is just some lines drawn on a map enforced via violence. So is “France.” So is literally every country.

Why would the line have to include territory that was part of another country? That’s not what you said, nor is it what China did.

As I said, Tibet had already been a part of China for 200 years. It broke away much like the Confederacy broke away from the US, and like the US, China reasserted control and freed the people from slavery.
