> China has bought Tibet from the British

China invaded and annexed Tibet in 1951 [1].

You may be thinking of Hong Kong, which the British invaded and annexed from the Qing dynasty [2] and then handed back to China in 1997 [3] under conditions that Beijing defaulted on in 2019 [4].

> what have they done with Taiwan?

Same as America has been doing with Greenland.
