   and Han Chinese culture

What kind of people do you think lives in Hong Kong and Taiwan?

  It’s a very effective way of erasing and controlling people

I wonder who else has historically done the same.

  Plus given that the government of China is very authoritarian and controlling and not democratic, I don’t think it’s good for the world when they get more land, resources, and economic power (which turns into military power).

Does it matter what form of government China has? Shouldn't we judge on what governments actually do?

Rather than bombarding your interlocutor with a barrage of questions, please articulate your position clearly and save everyone's time instead.

Well, what’s your position in this?

Questions are to make OP think. Sometimes it’s better for OP to do a bit of research instead merely stating.

Those weren't real questions, you just stated your opinions - that the CCP doesn't want to steamroller disloyal cultures, and if they do it's perfectly fine because it's some sort of revenge on the West, and that their ideology doesn't matter if they manage to get their people money - and then you put question marks on the end and implied we ought to meditate over this.

No, I didn't mean what you just said.

They didn't say that

Probably not exactly that, but there is no evidence to the contrary, so this is my best guess.

an unserious answer to the question
