Yes.

Tibet is an illegally occupied state that has faced persecution and genocide at the hands of China over the past 70 years.

China does not want US citizens thinking about this, knowing this, or seeing "Free Tibet" protests on their television screens. They certainly don't want Tibetan expatriates in the US lobbying for US support for Tibetan independence.

The abuse of Tibetans by the Chinese government is bad enough that over 100 monks and nuns in Tibet have self-immolated themselves in the last 10 years to draw attention to the suffering of their people.

The printing of paper maps actually doesn’t have any bearing on whether a region’s people can fight for political independence and freedom from genocide.

Serfdom rather than American style chattel, but yes. Though functionally the Chinese did not change much after the invasion.

The CCP is everywhere and they care about every word that is spoken about them they have a police station in NYC they operate over 100 police stations in countries outside of China. There's even articles detailing how they sabotaged Shen Yun transport vehicles. You know they absolutely hate the Shen Yun tag-line China before Communism

Shen yun is a cult so that’s not exactly a great sticking point
