Generation Amnesia: why China’s youth don’t talk about Tiananmen
China urges U.S. to abide by one-China policy after American warships sail through Taiwan Strait
WTF is a one China policy? Inner Mongolia, Tibet, Xinjiang, islands in the SCS/ECS. Those were independent provinces until CPC gobbled those up.Politicians are elected to serve...far too many don't see it that way - Albany Rifles! || Loyalty to country always.

An upsurge in nationalism and patriotism in China has been directly generated by decades of rapid economic growth, according to Zheng Yongnian, director of the East Asian Institute at the National University of Singapore.
“The young people in China have not lived through China’s most painful and difficult time,” he said. “Coupled with official propaganda, their patriotic or nationalistic sentiment is likely to be spontaneous.”
“We all want a better China,” Wang said. “As of now, I think a better China requires more down-to-earth hard work, rather than empty slogans about democracy.”

Let's look at the Qing empire. I see differing interpretations already depending on geography
Push into Arunachal starts around 1857. Mongolia should not exist today.
Does not even get into Arunachal, maybe its not to scale but still is staying clear of India. Parts of Mongolia still around.
And its titled not the western version : )Last edited by Double Edge; 29 May 19,, 20:06.

Originally posted by Oracle View PostAfghanistan & Pakistan was part of India. World's largest Hindu temple is in Cambodia, so India has claim there. Sri Lanka, Japan and numerous other countries which are buddhist, can be said to have ancient Indian influence, and therefore fit for Indian claim. These ancient claims are a load of bollocks in the 21st century. Borders have been drawn, every country should respect that.
If you want to say that 21st century countries should respect the borders drawn, then you have to take the good with the bad. Tibet, Inner Mongolia, and Xinjiang belongs to the PRC just as Kashmir belongs to India.Chimo

^ Agree. Slightly incorrect though. Tibet was annexed by force after the great war.Politicians are elected to serve...far too many don't see it that way - Albany Rifles! || Loyalty to country always. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it - Mark Twain! || I am a far left millennial!
