I can tell you why the Chinese specifically like to use that word "liberated" when they discuss the 1950 Tibetan annexation It's because the CCP will always point out that technically the Tibetans practiced slavery prior to them once again joining with the CCP Now this is technically true but it's such a gross cherry picking usurping of history, Tibet did indeed once have an empire separate from China and in that empire yes slavery was practiced But when Tibet was conquered by imperial china in the 1720s those practices were stopped but never officially banned by the Tibetans themselves And in fact the Imperial China ruled over the Tibetans in much of that capacity When Tibet gained it's de facto freedom from China in 1919 after imperial china fell into various warlords battling it out for dominance they just returned to their previous sets of rules for governing themselves and while they didn't participate in slavery anymore because they never had an official ban, the practice was still on the books So when China was looking for justifications into their annexation they pulled that little obscure factoid out of the Tibetan government structure and paraded it around
