I don't think it takes a genius to realize that the Warring States are Chinese,no one ever viewed Zhao as semi barbaric unlike GouWu,YuYue,Qin and Chu.
Yes Qin unified Northern China however to say China existed then is ridiculous,there was the previous Zhou and Shang which are recognized worldwide as Chinese.
Did Vietnam exist only after the conquest of Cham,of course not...
I never stated that Nanyue is Chinese stop putting words in my mouth,I stated Zhao Tuo is Chinese.
Vietnamese nationalists always harp on how China was under foreign rule yet several Vietnamese dynasties had Chinese ancestors so its the pot calling the kettle black.
You do realize that Zhao Tuo relented to being a vassal under the Han and apologized for his aggressiveness against Changsha.
Why Zhao Tuo sought to rival the Han is unknown it could be anything from avarice,revenge or a grand delusion.
Where are the primary sources that said he fought for the Yue identity which you nationalist Vietnamese wish to twist that he was fighting for Vietnamese.
More than likely Nanyue was a Sincized kingdom with a mixed population of Qin convicts/soldiers and various Baiyue tribes that later conquered Au Lac,true Zhao Tuo squatted like a Yue and adopted some clothing however from artifacts Chinese seals,jade suits and government were still used.
Keep in mind that Zhao Tuo's capital was in Panyu and that it is unknown what time of Baiyue his descendants married.
If you are at all interested in the subject why don't you read modern day research such as 古南越国史 or primary sources such as Shiji?
It seems quite common of you to resort to petty insults when you are backed into a corner.
Tell me,where is the historical and archaeological proof for the existence of Xich Quy,Van Lang or Hung Kings?
Strange how you mention I'm obsessed with Baiyue people,they are natives of Southern China I cannot deny that my ancestors mixed with them,however nationalistic Vietnamese always try to claim that Southern Han Chinese are brainwashed and are kin.
Is that not a sign of inferiority complex?
Now you show your true colors,regardless there is no proof of kingdom of that size and is nothing more than mental masturbation
I find it absolutely hilarious how former vassals/tributaries of China try to piggy back off China's splendor and civilization.
Not only to nationalistic Vietnamese and Koreans distort history they even claim that Chinese are part Korean or Vietnamese!
Seems like the only thing that will satisfy these nationalists is the China splintering into smaller factions and recognizing their "lost" Baiyue/Nomadic roots.
