Hi

[@HienNguyen-sh4jt]

Future history books will evaluate Xi Jinping like this: The most powerful dictator after Mao Zedong. He revised the presidential term limit to consolidate his authority and used anti-corruption methods to suppress dissidents. He is the most dangerous dictator in the 21st century and the most notorious dictator in the 21st century. According to statistics, at least one million Chinese people were persecuted during his tenure. The most famous one was the Uyghur concentration camp. At least one million Uyghurs were imprisoned in the concentration camp. This is the largest concentration camp in the 21st century. During his tenure, China's high-pressure political environment reached Surveillance, detention, torture and the persecution of lawyers have caused harm to China second only to Mao Zedong. At the same time, this also reminds us that we must always reflect on that extremely heavy and dark history to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

[@user-kz8dh4te7o]

因为大多数情况就是这样，中国的知识总是最先进的，直到英国弄出了像是游戏外挂一般的科技革命，这种东西按照正常发展不应该存在，但它的确出现了，中国的统治者从未见过如此新奇的东西，而且因为当时的中国统治者是少数民族，他比起发展，更需要中国的稳定，他害怕科技发展导致他的权利被夺走，后来乾隆皇帝再得知路易十六被市民杀，他更加害怕科技了，于是，清朝变得越来越僵化，逐渐走向死亡。

One correction: The 9th century (879 AD) killing of foreign businessmen in Guangzhou were by rebels led by Huang Chao, who was a salt smuggler descendent and turned ferocious after repeatedly failing the government civil servants' selection exam. After the beseige and fall of Guangzhou, the rebels killed residents indiscriminately, including foreigners and also local officials and residents.

This part of history is missing. As late as the 1940s, after World War II and when India was created in 1947, the flag of the Republic of China (nowadays usually known as Taiwan) flew high in Tawang, South Tibet. Today, the Indian flag is flying there. What had happened? On August 14th, 1947, Nehru gave his famous 'Tryst with Destiny' speech, and with that, a country that had not existed historically suddenly showed up on China's doorstep. India is similar to South Africa, a country that came into existence only because the colonialists created the country and subsequently and willingly relinquished its power to the indigenous people it once subjugated. If the British had never landed in India, today's subcontinent would comprise thousands of fiefdoms, often at each other's throats. This was the time of pre-Communist China (Republic of China), and India continued the British Raj's expansionist policy and the land incursion. Nationalist China (pre-Communist Republic of China) sent repeated diplomatic protests to the then-Indian Nehru government. However, schooled by the British on how to deal with these nuisances, these diplomatic protests were duly ignored. When the Communist won the civil war, and the Republic of China retreated to Taiwan in 1949, India was one of the earliest nations to recognize Communist China, and, in one fell swoop, shut out the diplomatic channel the ROC used to deliver its diplomatic protests. India's land incursion continued, but Communist China ceased all diplomatic protests. In February 1951, three and a half years after the British Raj had left the subcontinent, India finally trekked up to Tawang, South Tibet, expelled the officials posted there from Lhasa and annexed it. Tawang is the last major Tibetan frontier town. It is the birthplace of the Sixth Dalai Lama and home to the four-hundred-year-old Tawang Monastery. Historically, the Tawang Monastery has been a central government-friendly monastery. This means the news of India's invasion and annexation should have arrived in Beijing within a few days at the latest. As expected, the Tibetan Lhasa government vehemently protested, as did the Republic of China (by then had already retreated to Taiwan), but curiously, Communist China made no noise. Communist China's accommodation must have greatly emboldened India as it continued to push northward into China, eventually precipitating the one-month-long 1962 India-China war, despite Communist China's repeated warning to India that it will strike back with India's continued border incursion. In the run-up to the 1962 war, Zhou En Lai went to New Delhi pleading to Nehru to take what it had stolen (South Tibet) and fix the boundary along the MacMahon alignment (It was termed the MacMahon alignment and not the MacMahon line because the so-called MacMahon line is a diplomatic forgery and is not recognized by either Communist China or its civil war rival, Nationalist China) but India rejected the offer. I am sure India saw Communist China's offer as a sign of submission. After all, India has already gobbled up South Tibet, a territory larger than the state of South Carolina, with zero resistance from Communist China, so why should India take China's warning seriously? Anyway, India was swiftly defeated. On the international stage, Nehru lied to the world that India was a victim of Chinese aggression when, in fact, it had already annexed South Tibet in 1951. India's duplicities have far-reaching consequences beyond the dispute between the two countries. India's lies created the narrative of a land-grabbing, expansionist China, which, according to Henry Kissinger and Robert MacNamara, is the reason the US got involved in the Vietnam War, with over fifty-eight thousand Americans killed as a consequence of Indian lies. In 1987, India made South Tibet a state and renamed it the so-called Arunachal Pradesh. The Republic of China (usually referred to as Taiwan nowadays) once again issued a statement strongly condemning India. Here is an excerpt of the statement put out by the Republic of China (usually referred to as Taiwan nowadays): "In regard to the issue of the Indian government's illegal occupation of our country's territory and the establishment of the so-called 'Arunachal Pradesh,' the foreign ministry of the Republic of China issued the following announcement at midnight: India's illegal occupation of our country's territory has been repeatedly stated by the government of the Republic of China as something it will not recognize. Recently, the Indian Congress unilaterally passed the establishment of 'Arunachal Pradesh' to the south of the so-called McMahon Line. The Indian government also made it a state. The government of the Republic of China once again solemnly proclaims that the government of India intends to legitimize its illegal occupation of Chinese territory. The government of the Republic of China regards this as illegal, void, and absolutely not recognized."

Possibly, it's far up on the list though.

[@alexhubble]

"Legally, morally and ethically" - well morally and ethically you can make solid points. But legally, there's a problem. It's only illegal, de facto, if someone can arrest you for it. The Xhosa in Southern Africa would love to take the Brits to court, bob hope of that. It's the same today with USA, China and indeed North Korea. Then it's not a crime, it's international relations. Whatever Amnesty would like to think.

[@CPTVCAMgmailcom]

This argument never ceases to amuse me. Please, gentlemen - tell us more about how Britain and US are lumped together into the same category as China, Russia/USSR, North Korea, early 20th century Japan, Nazi Germany, etc. That list above is responsible for the deaths of over 100 million people. You and your ancestors were/are here, in large part, because of a British Empire or USA hegemony. Or, you can wish history had taken a different course if you want to sound edgy and score internet irony points as you post freely on technology invented and protected from tyrannical destruction by western, capitalist democracies. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Emanon...]

@@alexhubble You're right about there not being a set of international laws to govern the actions, but because someone isn't being arrested doesn't mean that the crimes haven't taken place. Or do you not believe that there have been any incidents of Russian, Israel, US or British war crimes since the inception of the concept. The problem is enforcement, making the laws impotent. Not whether the crimes were actually committed or not. I give you an example: The opium wars. The British smuggled opium into China and later caused a war to be able to force an illegal substance to be sold despite the wishes of the sovereign country. If that's not "legally" criminal, I don't know what is.

[@alexhubble]

@Emanon... I'm certainly not saying the things haven't been done, not at all. War crimes, what's the issue.... well, war crimes are not decided by Law, they are decided by the Winners. For example, SS troops shoot Americans in the Bulge, they are hanged. Americans shoot German guards at Dachau, there is 'no need for a prosecution'. Unless you are a piddly country like Rwanda, when everyone pushes you about. Is that a legal process? Opium wars, against Chinese law. We disagreed for the worst of reasons. We fought, they lost => no legal crime. Don't get me wrong, I am not against justice or anything like. I just feel the shout of war crimes goes up very easily. And is often not connected with reality.

[@user-GTTW]

这段话是毛泽东被断章取义的广为流传的一句话了，今天的香港台湾人很喜欢去掉这句话的前文和后文来达到抹黑毛泽东的目的，但是实际上加上前后文之后这句话的意思其实是指毛泽东认为日本的侵略激起中华民族反抗的斗志与决心，客观上推动了中国人民被迫向前进。毛泽东能够在这个中日民族核心矛盾问题上侃侃而谈，在70年代时也代表着中国愿意暂时搁置历史问题推动中日关系正常化。在当时，中日关系要达成正常化的主要障碍就是如何去解决中日过去的民族矛盾。 引用维基百科：毛泽东的真实意思是指日本帝国主义的侵略在客观上起了促使中国人民觉醒的反面教员的作用，绝对没有否认日本帝国主义侵略中国的战争性质、肯定日本帝国主义侵略中国的意思，“感谢”一词是一种语言幽默，必须了解毛泽东的语言特点和毛泽东谈话的全部内容，才能了解原话的真实含义。
