Indeed im not disagreeing here.
Its just interesting with the whole cultural revolution and how the communists destroyed Chinese culture and civilisation while at the same time CCP uses Chinese history as a way to legitimise their claims of territorial expansion while at the same time promoting themselves as anti imperialist.
Glad, we have a agreement that CCP are nothing but Rogue communists.
You are forgetting that the Yuan and the Qing dynasty ruled Tibet. Eventhough both are not Han Chinese. Still does stop the Chinese from claiming them as Chinese and their territory as Chinese.
I understand your point there. They were mongols who ruled china & Tibet at same time. While Tibet was handed over to mongol appointed Dalai lama & declared independent, china remained under mongols for some time till they were militarily strong to fight mongols and take it back. This musical chairs have happened a lot in Chinese history per se.
Still Tibet was majorly ruled by respective religious heads called Dalai lama only . In fact Tibet was centre of Buddhism once and was visited by various Hindu schoolyards My point is that ultimately everybody was ruled by One of other at any given point of time & on those points. One can;t claim some thing because they were ruled some xyz in 2nd century BC. should not mongols be claiming whole china by those standards.
Ultimately, In modern world, People have picked their leaders. Why don't china let Tibetans decide on their fate , What claim do they have on Formosa. Same way , their claims in SCS . It,s their expansionist agenda and heritage of being a tribe once which do not lets them sit idle and look for fight always. Real native Chinese are Pushed to Formosa / Taiwan & Rogue CCP have a dispute with almost every neighbour except Pakistan for obvious reasons.
> India can make claim from Afghanistan to Burma as all were part of former British Empire.
> China themselves was ruled by Mangols somewhere in 13th century while tibet was independent at that time.
