I'm not sure which 2 great powers you are talking about.

I don't have to say that since Indian script also uses the alphabet similar to the Aramaic alphabet, so it is debatable if it is original or at least heavily influenced by the middle east cultures

I don't know what you're talking about. Tibet was conquered by PRC half a century ago. China conquered lots of foreign lands. It's a tradition.

For example, Chinese ruled northern part of Vietnam for over 900 years, which is obviously not a short period. It's normal for the Chinese to make some claims.

The Chinese have a good reason to claim those regions As you can see, northern part of Vietnam and Korea were basically inherent to the Chinese.
