1st bold part: You need to read history books again. China would have never grown this big without conquering smaller neigbours. I am sure that every Chinese Emperors took expanding territories as the highest pride for his ruling period.
No, they didn't. Ming Emperors expressly FORBID their heirs from attacking ANY country with an exhaustive list including Vietnam, Korea, Japan, Southern India, Bengal, Majapahit, Sulu, Brunei, Malacca and Maguin Sultans. They only sanctioned military action against the Mongols for obvious reasons.
The Qing expanded Chinese borders aggressively but even then just to exterminate ruthless enemies who refused to negotiate peace with China repeatedly.
The only reason why Ming invaded Vietnam is because the Trans were Ming allies and the successor dynasty attacked a Chinese diplomatic mission, and then raided Guangdong.
but they took a wrong move massacred VNese living in the border. Those skulls in museums are enough of proof for you?
Who knows how they died? American bombs probably killed them. And Cambodia only attacked Vietnam to liberate their brothers who you annexed.
You pushed all your neighbors around the area, now you see the US reasserting itself into the region. And this time the US is overwhelmingly welcomed back.
stfu. China has 14 land neighbors alone and only pig-arrogant India refuses to deal. China has offered no less than FOUR times to recognize the current borders. Arrogant India refuses to even consider that a dispute exists despite the fact that they have NO CLAIM whatsoever to Tibetan land.
Meanwhile not only does the Philippines have a dispute with Malaysia, Brunei and Vietnam of all countries but you even have an active insurgency going on in the south due to your non-stop atrocities against native Moro Muslims - and you ransom and murder Chinese children when you aren't engaging in high seas piracy against Taiwan and even Vietnam. Who the **** do you think you're fooling, Pinoy?
Unlike you PINOYS the Chinese do not need to STEAL ISLANDS, RANSOM CHILDREN AND WOMEN, BUTCHER Muslim natives, SELL their daughters to foreigners and RAPE the poor to get rich.
Chinese people get rich by working hard and if we want oil, we BUY it.
