The 21st century obsession of Chinese empire building

China's drive to be an imperialist nation started in 1949, when it has occupied by force Tibet and Eastern Turkistan. Later, after a few years, it absorbed Manchuria and Mongolia as gifts from Stalin. However, that has not stopped the appetite of China.

In 1962, China invaded India. China occupies about 10 per cent of the State of Jammu and Kashmir. In 1964, China invaded the USSR, in 1979 Vietnam. It has already taken over the Spartley Island, a potentially rich island with petroleum and natural gas, which belongs to Vietnam. Now it is preparing for the invasion of Taiwan.

In 1949, Kuomintang forces of Chiang-Kei-Seik defeated by Mao-Tse-Tung invaded Formosa, and massacred the local population, who are not ethnic Chinese but a mixed population of Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, and the indigenous proto-Malays. Machu Empire of China has ruled Taiwan only for eight years between 1887 and 1895. Otherwise, it was never a part of China. However, now China claims that Formosa, renamed as Taiwan, is an inalienable part of China and China wants to reclaim it as soon as possible. History cannot support that Chinese claim.

"After i read that part about China doesn't exist before 12th century, i stop reading the rest of the post -- it's another Indian blather."

Wasn't it you who said in the last thread that India didnt exist before 1947?

Bwahahahahahah! Taste some of your own medicine (Chinese medicine in this case)!LOL!

India did not exist as a COUNTRY before 1947, it did exist as a CIVILIZATION. That's the difference.
