@sylviam6535 Reddit is not bad for pop culture takes, slices of life, reviews of products and technology, etc. whereas Quora never seems to say anything about STEM, but does have a lot of ice cold baizuo takes.

well...the yellow hat monks IIRC invited in the Qing Dynasty - it may have been the Ming, but pretty sure it was the Qing - to help defeat the black hat monks - and I may be screwing up which Tibetan faction invited in either the Chinese or the Manchurians - in exchange for which the arrangement was the victors of the Tibetan power struggle would swear fealty to the Emperor as a client kingdom. The saying does literally go "the mountains are tall and the emperor is far away." I have no idea what the Xiist plants on Quora have to say about the subject but that treaty was the one with which the communists legitimized their invasion of Tibet during the Chinese Civil War, and also the grounds on which the former Dalai Lama insisted that his movement was in pursuit of regional autonomy, not independence. The other side of that one was that Mao technically did free the slaves in Tibet.

@sylviam6535 Wiki did disappear reference to the boat that came before the Komagata Maru and fought a legal challenge to be allowed to stay based on also being British subjects prior to the one steamship rule from its page on the Komagata Maru.

The Philippines has been pissed at mainland China since the early 2010s. It was either 2013 or 2014, even if search engine bias makes it a pain to back that up, that the mainlander navy was confronted by the Pinoy navy just off western The Philippines. Obama's guys figured they would just tell both sides to go home and allow them to save face, because it would have been out of character for the mainland China of Deng, Zhu, Hu, or Jiang to have gone for territorial acquisitions. The mainlander navy stayed. The Obama administration thanks to the pull it had acquired through strategic lawsuits against the American media was able to smear Duterte when he later complained.

Georgia makes the most sense as the piece to link Turkey to Azerbaijan to link the Uzbeks across the Caspian and through the Caucasus to the Mediterranean. This allows for a more certain if circuitous route from Afghanistan to salt water.
