There is also the concept of China. Where the lands we call China is this vaguely defined, ever changing area of East Asia. We have unified periods of the Zhou, Han, Tang, etc. and then there are the splits like the Warring States, Three Kingdoms, etc. Take the Three Kingdoms, each Liu, Sun, and Cao all claimed to be the emperor (which there can only be one and all others are illegitimate). In the minds of those people, there one China (or just everything under heaven as they'd likely say) but it's just been split between 3 different occupied regions waiting to become whole again.

And every history educations from every countries are consistence themselves. It's just not consistence to each others when comparing. Taiwan is free country with deomocracy hence educations are free from Political orientation. Where as China is not country of freedom. Politic controls everythings. They ban youtube, facebook, and even google. Communist Chinese historic re-innovation project is very popular among asian coutnreis. Communist China's point view of history portraits Political orientation of chinese CCP. Communist chinese history education has no reputation because it has it's own consistency in CCP's political orientation.

@@zedz4397 Communist China's history consistency is that eveythings are under sinocentrism. this is why Communist China's historic view cannot be recognzied among the world. I mean for example, communist China teach their kids that genghis khan was Chinese just becuase genghis khan colonized China. Where as rest of other world teach history of Mongol as Mongol itself. I mean, with Communist historic consistency view, Mongol can also be European and Arabian country because they colozied those areas too.

Technically, Christians, Islam, Judaism were all legal in China for centuries already by that time. It's the same process --- they send an envoy bearing some gifts, find their way into the Chinese capitol of the time, request a meeting with the emperor on behalf of their country, the emperor sees them, they talk about how much their religion is a force that aligns with Chinese philosophy and is a force to make people happier, the emperor listens, think about it, nods, and orders them a obelisk that basically says "this religion is legal". And they can then practice whatever they practice, so long as it obeys Chinese law of course. All three Abrahamic religions did that, hundreds of years before Hong Xiuquan. Didn't really have too much problem up until the very Chinese law itself was weakened due to all those invasions.

[@CainSuzuko]

The ROC, or Taiwan, literally was China after the dynasty period, but they got exiled because of a civil war between the nationalist Kuomintang and the communist party. The communist party pushed back the Kuomintang or the ROC by capturing more land. The Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan, ultimately losing control of the mainland to the Communist party which then resulted to the Communist party becoming the PRC. The ROC was internationally recognized to be the legitimate Chinese government for a while after being exiled, but the PRC having control over the mainland and more resources eventually led to it being the legitimate internationally recognized government.

[@-mle566]

You're the one who really understand China's history, which proves that Taiwan is part of China. The only debate is that PRC and ROC, which government is the real official Chinese government that represent the whole China. For me, where there is democracy and freedom, there is.

The Middle Kingdom has always been able to get back on its feet. In the end the greatest threat to China will always be itself.

The Chinese know that and that is why they support a United China under a strong militaristic government like the CCP.

[@alistar2590]

Well when you actually look at it from a historical lens there is no surprise that china bounced back.

Yet it has always recovered and maintained its chinese identity for 2000 years. These recent events around 100 years ago were no different.

Effectively meaning that a Commonwealth is created between the two Chinas.

You might want to update your info. Taiwan dropped their claim to Mongolia 2 decades ago... I was living there when they actually officially changed their maps. It isn't complicated. The government of Taiwan, was the government of mainland China. They lost the civil war vs the communists. They fell back to Taiwan...the only territory that the government still controlled. They have hoped to re-invade and reclaim Mainland China. They actually offered troops to the UN, early on in the Korean War......the offer rejected since the UN command didn't think they'd be able to keep Taiwanese troops from invading the Mainland.

I once read that George RR Martin was giving advice to aspiring writers on how to train their world-building ability, and advised against writing fan fictions based on Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings universes and of course, his own Game of Thrones universe. That's true; world building from scratch is hard, and of course even his own universe is not entirely made up but based on world history as well, like War of the Roses, the wall based on Hadrian's walls, the wildlings represents celts and Dothrakis representing Mongols and Turks, and the sparrows being inspired by the Boxers' rebellion, which I guess would make Cersei based on Cixi (the names even sound similar). Supposedly, Hong Xiuquan encountered some Christian missionaries in Guangzhou and was later suffering from a fever; in his feverish delirium he dreamt up his godly lineage as well his 'mission'. It would be interesting if he weren't sick and had the time and imagination to build up his own cult and founding myth from scratch. If a cult based on a foreign religion could have so much influence and cause such damage in China, imagine what might've if he came up with a more Chinese-like religion.

When you talk about Chingghis Khagan, you should understand before he was born, there were many Chinese Dynasties that ruled parts or all of (Outer and Inner)Mongolia. Chingghis Khagan's Mongols was formerly a vassal of Jin Dynasty as well. Chingghis Khagan even at his death still never finished off the weakest of the three, Western Xia Dynasty, the only achievement in his China conquest was his conquest of Western Liao Dynasty or Kara Khitai which was located in Central Asia and was already usurped by Kuchlug of Turkic Naiman tribe. And it took the Mongols four Great Khagan (Chingghis, Ogodai, Guyuk, Mongke), the entire empire's resources, and Yuan Emperor (Kublai) with the massive help of the Chinese defectors to bring down the disunited and crumbling Chinese Dynasties that had been fighting and killing each other in virtually non-stop battles and wars that had been happening for 2 to 3 centuries. Not to mention those massive rebellions and natural disasters that happened on the eve and during the Mongol invasions. And to make thing worse, they even allied with the Mongols to bring down one another, it still took the Mongols and the Yuan with all their resources the total of roughly 3 quarter of a century to finish the conquest. Compared to fighting the corrupted, declining and crumbling China, the conquest of those islamic sultanates, caliphates, those europeans, and Russian kingdoms by the Mongols certainly a cake walk most of the time. Their resources put into western conquest was miniscule by comparison.
