Given China’s persecution of Uyghur Muslims, its occupation of Tibet, its complete tyranny when it comes to civil & democratic rights, & its repression of the democracy movement in Hong Kong, I would not be one to see its military operations in Ladakh as emancipatory in any way. That would be akin to seeing Russia & Iran as emancipatory against the Syrian Arab Spring. We should leave such treacherous views to the Stalinists who, believe me, support whatever the Chinese Communist Party does.
