This isn’t imperialism. Note that I didn’t argue about the authoritarian angle. Claiming that Mao is an imperialist is an insane stretch, even by the new standards I’ve been seeing liberals use it for.
Also, really the Korean war fits the bill? You should spend more time reading about what happened in the “forgotten war”, what was happening in South Korea and what the US did to the North Koreans as part of that conflict. Blowback did a good season on it, but I think the thing I find particularly odd about you referencing it as Chinese imperialism is neglecting to acknowledge the entire US involvement in that conflict.
In all honesty you would be better off citing the invasion of Tibet (but even then a coursory reading and understanding of the theocratic fuedalistic state that existed there before this should really dispell a lot of nonsense).

tbh I thought he’d go with the occupation of Tibet, Xinjiang, etc. Absolutely wild take about the Korean War and wars generally.
