It is an Empire, it used to have an Emperor. It has taken on Tibet since it was an Empire. In my book it is an Empire. Quote "Is it any different to many “Christian “ countries that don’t want Muslim immigrants from troubled areas! China ensures their troubled areas are well controlled, which is what a lot of the western demonstrations are about!" Christian countries having nothing to do with the subjugation of minority groups in China. What don't you understand? "Yep, ok with that. Seems that the Chinese exercised the current USA doctrine of might is right, although Tibet was hardly a separate country in and of itself." I fail to see how US doctrine since 2025 applies to what China did in 1950. Somebody have a secret time machine? errrrr why was Tibet not a separate country? "Yep. Ok with that. In fact I think it’s better than colonial British rule." Why not ask the people of Hong Kong what they think. Oh you can't, the democracy supporters are all in hiding from the Chinese police. You raise the US and Cuba. Not sure what that has to do with Taiwan. Point of interest, I think you will find Taiwan was discovered by Europeans before China discovered it. If anybody "owns" Taiwan it is the indigenous people. Now since you keep raising US comparisons feel free to argue that point. "China has claims in the South China Sea, as do other countries." Well those counties that have territorial waters use established International law. China builds an artificial island, which I believe is sinking back under the sea. But I also believe the nations with territorial water are also doing island building. "Personally I don’t have a problem with China exercising what it believes to be legitimate claims versus, say, those of Vietnam, Philippines, Brunei etc. I can’t see that it makes the world a worse place. Unless you think Vietnam is less communist that China, or Philippines less corrupt than China?" What a strange statement. I think if Norway tried to establish all of the North Sea down to the coast of Kent and Calais serious questions would be asked. Your rant about US human rights abuses is not relevant. You do seem to have a bit of a hatred of the US.
