Worth noting that the Chinese ambassador also called it the Malvinas throughout, not the Falklands.

    A hostile local population is an obstacle to resource exploitation and capitalists will remove that obstacle one way or another.

        They're not colonized or oppressed because Argentina's attempt to turn them into such failed. If Argentina gained control of the Falklands then the inhabitants would become oppressed because you can't maintain a presence in a place over and against the will of the people there without doing a little oppression.
