The Tibet thing has been done on here several times already. Tibet was brought
back into the Chinese state at the invitation of Tibet itself. The current tensions in Tibet are nothing to do with independence, they are to do with cultural freedoms. And blah blah blah. All the other things that armchair commentators don't know and are in no hurry to learn about.
But today we have a relatively new angle of attack! Welcome to the party...

You are assuming that China continues to provide aid to North Korea, a nation with whom China openly has an increasingly cold relationship with and whom China has supported sanctions against in recent years, purely to irritate America. Which is ridiculous.
The reason China continues to help North Korea get by, despite North Korea eagerly biting the hand that feeds, is because without China's aid North Korea would completely collapse. This would mean millions of refugees pouring across the border into China's north east, and the US/South Korea undoubtedly swooping in to take control of North Korea, which would put American troops on China's border. Given North Korea's enormous army, it would quite likely mean a huge war on China's border, in a country which has nuclear weapons. It is in order to avoid these things that China continues to provide aid to North Korea.
And in any case, providing North Korea with economic and food aid is not an assault on North Korea's sovereignty. China's respect for others upheld, all hail the new world order \(^0^)/
