In the 15th century, Admiral Zheng led a big fleet (about 30,000) sailing to many countries, as far as to Africa. They only traded with those countries, did not colonize any single one. Given how western countries have treated China in the past 180 years, how could you expect Chinese to trust them?

[Food Paradise]

How can a debate of China not involving Chinese scholar?

[Pahat pahat]

Indeed! Most "outsiders" are unlikely to really understand a Confucian society. In most of these debates or discussions, "outsiders" are likely to impose those perceptions based on their own societal scenario on China or the Chinese people. Well, in a manner, maybe it is better that such scenario to continue as they are unlikely to really understand a Confucian society.

@Pahat pahat To be fair, few can argue better for China than David Kang. You should see how he demolished that John guy in kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZLJdKBpm9J5bdU

[P Chong]

Pertinent point and well taken.

[Sam Chan]

Interesting discussion about China without a Chinese participant from a Chinese perspective.

[humbleforest]

Choose China you have Peace and friendly trade exchanges with more of your countries' revenues collected and many infrastructures modernised.

The South China Sea is the passage for China to import oil. China has to secure the route for its own national survival apart from territorial claims from centuries ago.

[Chris Wong]

China remember June 1941, how US embargo Japan from oil, materials from this same sea channel. China does not want to be place same on it's trade route by USA. How many don't know why Japan attack USA Dec 7, 1941 and invasion of Indo-China (oil) it was because USA sign embargo in June 1941 of Japan resources.
