dog why the fuck would gansu be independent? this is larp, the last time a non chinese culture predominated there was like, what, 900bc? like genuinely at the edge of recorded history

clearly just want to eat up all the resources there

"But how could Japan, only 1/20th the size of China, and with only 1/6th it's population, think of conquering China, much less the world?"

"Modern China, in spite of its age old history, was like the broken pieces of jigsaw puzzle, each piece controlled by a different ruler, each with his own private army."

Don’t tell them about Indonesia and how some call it the “Javanese empire”

imagine if 20% if ireland was occupied

Basically:

Free Tibet

Also Taiwan

Also Xinjiang

Also Hong Kong

And if China is still powerful, then we'll find another place that needs freeing

This is totally not because we're losing to them in the global market, this is totally for moral reasons; I deeply care about.....I don't know, whatever the media keeps saying is the reason we should oppose them

Look! This Tibetan citizen® (born in New York, currently writing Op-Eds from Washington DC, but looks ) claims (on Radio Free Asia) that Tibetans are being murdered and he's persecuted by the SEESEEPEE!!!!!!

White people pasttime: draw random lines over other countries

pff, weak historical claims. it should all go to mongolia

why stop with one noncontiguous nation? lets add tajikistan to persia! give half of south turkmenistan to the kurds! divide Tehran by quarters! liberate the lurs! free mazandaran! let no grain be left without a state!

Right, they do larger cuts - and then do smaller cuts from there.

Bonus points if the lines are straight and ignore any geographic or demographic differences irl

These numbskulls have decided that different ethnic groups or historical identities cannot live in peace and equality in the same country. Their wish is for a bunch of ethnostates who can be at war with each other.

This was like half the arguments during the treaty of Versailles that ended WW1

It’s called WW1 for a reason

In hindsight, maybe they shouldn't have wrapped up The War to End All Wars with a Treaty To Begin More Wars.

The War to End All Wars

And the MIC took that personally

"Southwest" can't even bother to pick a random ethnic group to parcel it out to. Just hacking a piece off for no reason.

river west aisle

Seems like an overly literal translation of "Hexi corridor" as it's usually referred to: it means "corridor west of the [Yellow] River]"

Liberals have only three solutions to countries that piss them off, bomb it to hell, hit it with a big hammer and splinter it in a thousand pieces or both

Lmao

Don't forget starve them

No but you don't understand, they're a dictatorship so it's okay if the people suffer and die for our government to do what it wants over there; I'm willing to meet you half way and say that it's not great, but I still play my 'what else were we supposed to do' card, and you're not allowed to say 'mind our own business'

I love peace too, but if the government goes to war then we have to support them and ~~pretend like~~ agree it makes sense

China proper?? Here are the only borders that I and other real anti-imperialists recognize:

This is like something that Haz guy from the A"C"P would post completely unironically lmao

The Warring States period, where every state tries to conquer the others to establish their own empire? Pff... Real anti-imperialism connoisseurs know that only the Erligang culture and the even earlier neolithic gangs are true anti-imperialsts

If you aren't trying to overthrow the Jade Emperor don't even talk to me

Why even try to overthrow him, when you can just simply prevent his birth and the establishment of royalty as a whole? Early gang strikes again

Liberals love to carve up the periphery into smaller territories: Berlin Conference, Sykes–Picot, Balkanization, they just can't help it.

I agree. Let's apply that sort of anti-imperialist policy at home in the US and then we can tackle Chinese imperialism.

So the liberals agree on dismantling the united states? Ohh wait I misunderstood, the reason was to be like "all the murder, bombing, starving and conquering we do and did is actually very normal and other countries toooootally did the same" (go on to bring up 'comparison's' pulled out of their unwashed asses).

Liberals don't want to change the US or stop what they are doing to the world, they only want to have their treats. I am on voyager so pls reply with the treatlerite emoji in my stead.
