“Anyone attempting to split China in any part of the country will end in crushed bodies and shattered bones,”

Yup, this is the kind of thing nervous dictators usually say.

Merely opposing Chinese expansionism will be declared “dividing China”. Don’t like what China is doing in the 1st Island Chain? Tough. They claim that area despite the fact that they never controlled it and the so-called ‘islands’ are too wet to be defined as islands.

“And any external forces backing such attempts dividing China will be deemed by the Chinese people as pipe-dreaming!”

“pipe dreaming”, a reference to the Chinese opium outbreak in the 19th century

I’m inclined to believ Xi will indeed do as he says...just a matter of time if this continues as is. He will not do so until there are no other options..

Is China going to annex Nepal . . . or have they already?

"crushed bodies and shattered bones".

Something Chinese communists have far more experience in than anyone else. As long as they're the bodies and bones of their own people.

Hi.

Xi Jinping is a good communist. Killing their own citizens is what they do.

Hey Xi, in the fwiw department, there are a billion screaming Indians on you sw border.

Enjoy.

Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations

Well, that sounds familiar... like the Dialogue of Civilizations / Alliance of Civilizations thing pushed by the UN in Hillary's state department days where the main goal was to impose 'blasphemy laws' as a means of restricting free speech. It started with Iranian leader Khamenei and Spain's Zapatero and, IIRC, Turkey's Erdogan.

Can you imagine any US politician talking about shattering bones? This is what eventually happens with gun confiscation and centralized government.
