China was never more than an Asian power…how are you somehow claiming China was once a world power? Big Chinese hyperbole words as usual….

Was Roman empire a world power? in ancient times, world powers didn't have to send troops to occupy every country, it was more about culture and trade, that's why we have the silk road.

If South Africa was providing diamonds to the world does that make them a World Power? If the Aztecs decided to trade tons of gold to the Europeans does that make them a World Power??

Are OPEC countries considered World Powers?

Not sure how you define the Silk Road as making you a world power.

Many people believe Roman Empire was a world power, and contemporarily, Han dynasty was richer and stronger than Roman Empire. and Are you saying this world only started to have world powers from 300 years ago?

Being rich does not automatically make a country a world power. If that was the case OPEC would be running the planet for the last 50+ years.

World powers usually just set the direction of how the world progresses. The current direction is capitalism and supporting governments elected by the people.

Why so many westerners believe Roman Empire was a world power? just because it was in the west? Han dynastry beat the huns and drove them to flee westwards and the result is the Huns were forced to move westwards and they eventually destroyed Roman Empire.

Because the Roman Empire extended across 3 continents. They had their government officials running the show in parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Please stop. All you have shown is that this insistence on a One China is a farce imposed by an authoritarian communist regime, given the history. Let us call it a day, shall we?

Continents are man made concept, Europe actually is too small to be regard as a continent. Han dynasty was big, stronger and wealthier than Roman empire, Huns were beaten by Han dynasty but they can easily wreck havoc in Europe, Roman empire was probably two levels below Han dynasty in every domain.

Please stop. All you have shown is that this insistence on a One China is a farce imposed by an authoritarian communist regime, given the history. Let us call it a day, shall we?

It's our Chinese domestic issues, what does it have anything to with you?

Its a bizarre trait. Lives in America while hating the country, simps for China but never moves there

Never makes sense to me

me too..

If it we're true we wouldn't have hundreds of thousands of your compatriots trying desperately to immigrate to the US. Believe what you want, I don't have any interest in debunking CCP sponsored white monkey's.

beats me! They can just stay where they are never ever come here.

My father hates the US, never took the passport despite being married to an American for 20 plus years, he lives in France and refuses to spend more than two weeks in the US each year. It takes all kinds to make a diverse nation like the US.

so since you are French dude you like..

and....

but.. but.. we love Napoleon or we would never had New Orleans!

Just keepin it funny man we're closer allies than this Redcoat Brits!

still almost everyone expected that US would win

We did. The Soviet Union is no more. End of Story!

Thing is, if you earn around $40000 a year, you can probably afford some nice place in China, you can't in America.

Uhhhmn so that's why you moved Downunder eh?

China is different from the USA. even the worst houses have close public facilities.

Uhhhmn no.

was I Indian before? You need to make up your mind.

I was accused of being an Indian, a Jew and a Pakistani. Beat that @jhungary

But USSR was not a healthy, balanced and sustainable entity, it collapsed for a reason, today's US now is more and more like former USSR.

No. We are COOL. The USSR aint.

The Soviet Union was unwilling to treat China equally. It wants China to become a colony, just like Eastern Europe. This is foolish and arrogant.

Well they were better off than you back in the day. Now the situation is reversed.. or so the PDF dude say so.

Even in the poorest and most chaotic place in China, there will not be such crazy collective robbery as the USA.

Uhhmn okay then tell your peeps to just stay in China and dont ever come here. EVER!

How many people want to move to China for safety? How many people want to move to USA to live their lives as they please? The answers are clear.

Hey Grandpa! I'll move to China free Dimsum and Noodles! For Life!!

China is only for the Chinese. USA is for all the world. Big difference.

Some would argue the difference is the same and we are in PDF lot's of Yahoos here will say so.

Dozens of Chinese police officers risk their lives trying to catch a mad driver, He was later detained but physically unharmed. What would happen to this dirver if it happened in US?

We'd kill the F*ck3r. End of story.

I have noticed this mindset among some groups specifically who are of lower income groups where they make every effort to blame USA for all of its problems and ills

We have a buttload of em here in PDF havent you noticed?
