That map looks like a joke. It shows all of Mongolia (not just inner Mongolia), Tibet, Uighuristan, parts of Kashmir, much of North East India as part of China. This is definitely not the map of China (past, present or future). None of the areas I mentioned were ever under the occupation of any of the Chinese dynansties. Most of these places do not even have Han majority for China to make a rightful claim. This is a bogus map probably comming straight from the Chicom propaganda press and only borrowed by Taiwan. This map is more proof of Chicom hunger for more territory and playing the regional hegemon.

"Wasn't that the argument for Kosovo? for the United States of America?"

You tell me what argument was that.

" I've skirted the issue of Tibet, because I don't pretend to know much in detail about it, "

Tibet is a brazen occupation by the so called "Peoples Liberation Army". When true "Liberation" will come in China (i.e.) when the oppressive Communist structure and government will fall so will its military just as it did in the Soviet Union. There will be no PLA to prevent countries from becoming independent.

No, that map is NOT a joke. It's the official map of the Republic of China (Taiwan). If you go to Taiwan's consulates, you will see that map on the walls. And to that last sentence of yours above, I have two words for you: Qing Dynasty.

I'm going to end my part of this discussion. It's not going to change your mind. We have more pressing issues in the world to talk about than "Uighuristan" and Inner Mongolia. Inner Mongolian goat cheese is probably a better subject to talk about than this brouhaha.
