wah wah why don't you tow our narrativesThis isn't the thread to discuss this... but, recognise that many of the international border disputes around the world eminaye from the Imperial actions of countries oceans and thousands of miles away.
The Macmohan line was drawn up by a British general in the 1910's on behalf of "British India" in the age of colonialism signed by the British and Tibetan authorities. The Republic of China govt of the time did not recognise it, nor does its descendents in RoC (ie Taiwan) today; look at RoC maps today.
Spratley islands disputes eminate from French colonial escapades in the 1900's. Chinese and French colonial claims were deliniated in 1887 yet were disputed in the 1930's when France claimed the Spratelys; where post colonial Vietnam claims originate.
Even then, China of today did not take the Sprately islands occupied by Vietnam or Malaysia but developed its own reefs and small islands occupied in the 70's as part of claims supported by the preceding RoC and Qing govts. Even Taiwanese maps today still mark all those islands as Chinese from claims dating back to the Qing govt.
The international territory disputes in Asia go back to Western colonial/ imperialist times. Yet geniuses here would rather go on Western media BS and blame China vs the Euro and US Colonialists who started this all.
Why do you contest Chinese claims yet are happy to parrot French claims to Pacific territories more than 5000 miles away or US claims more than 4000miles away from the US mainland.
France and the UK claim territory in the Pacific, caribean, Indian ocean and even Antarctic territory. Yet somehow China is the imperialist for territory it claimed and controlled in and before the 1800's in the South CHINA Sea.
Read a history book and realise what real Imperialism is.
Listen mate you can spout all the copy-pasta nonsense you want here, but the PRC is an expansionist belligerent state that is currently in active territory disputes with every single one of it's neighbors. Chinese militia men had been hard at work at taking reefs and islands since the Vietnam war. You repeatedly poke Indian defenses in Himalayas for centimeters of land at a time, and are sitting on Indian land since 1962. Tibet belonged to china ? what china ? the hodgepodge collection of warring states ? by that retarded logic Sri Lanka, Burma, Malaysia, Indonesia belongs to India too as they were part of Indian empires of the old ages. We know our history well enough, we don't need little chinamen coming to lecture us about towing evil western conspiracies.
Now go back to discussing about your magical super warships.
