There are also more than hundred so-called economist said: China will collapse soon, so what?
We always said we are one of greatest civilization with more than 5000 years, as to empire, hehe, what's is empire? in you eyes, who can be defined as empire? stronger than China, and exist such long? Roma, or perisa? hehe.
You say Turkic and Mongolic tribes still there, yes, but do you know how much tribes around China have disappear? For example strong Huns flee European, today, what you can see is the one who survive. I don't care whether China are successful conquerors, but the influence of Chinese civilization to others. And in your eyes, who is successful conqueror? Turk? because you kill more than million Armenians? or your territory is huge? or your cultural influence to other tribes? hehe.
Hard to judge whether the History record is right, but China as the one who invent paper, Chinese history record are much much much better than you, and rest of the world, not? and China lack of cultural relics and historic sites to prove our history? hehe.
Qin, Tang, Song and other name of Chinese dynasty, We like name different dynasty, for us, the history is too long, just to make it understand easily, not like Roma and others, after that, fall down, hard to be prosperous and strong again, just remeber the only "dynasty": Roma, hehe. you see it China just wait it out and rebuild quickly, hehe, so what about other empire? but always strong? how long?
As our internation name, I don't care why we are called China in english, but 中国 in Chinese, means: 中央之国(Central Country).
Don't show your Chinese history in front of Chinese, you know very few about it, can't understand Chinese, and your mode of thinking are much different from Chinese, and these are not the topic of the thread.
