The CPC has over nine million members

95 million members actually, and around 110 mllion in its youth wing. So about one in seven chinese.

Notice the flags? This is not about imperial China, it is about the PRC.

Or are you one of the weirdos who also thinks Russian Empire = USSR = Russian Federation?

Overall it was a shitshow. Vietnam also ethnically cleansed its chinese minority and there was fighting at t he border because it was pretty much indefined. Furthermore, Vietnam ahd close ties to the USSR, with which China had recently broken. Thus China saw itself between the allied stated of Vietnam and USSR.

Fittingly the resulting border war also was a total shitshow. A few PLA divisions pushing into Vietnam, without artillery or air support. Vietnam defended with local militias as its army was in Cambodia. China occupied some border cities, but took severe losses, then it went home. The vietnamese militias were excellent fighters but lacked heavy arms, so all they could do is delay the chinese (which they did admirably). Both sides claimed victory and the relations between the two countries were in the gutter until a few years ago.

You first point is such a vapid one. China is a multi cultural state, lots of different cultures and languages. The governemnt of the region back then clearly did not consider it important enough, because they were fine with joining China.

The claims in the South China Sea overlap. Some islands are claimed by Brunai, Malasia and the Philipines, others are claimed by the PRC and the Philipines.

The military bases are less because of claims but because the US is sending its warships through this area all the time in a “nice trade routes you have here, would be sad if someone did something about them…”-move.

Tibet was a part of China, it was essentially a warlord territory. With the warlord being the Dalai Lhama. It did not consider itself “other nation”, which is obvious from the fact that its regime did agree to join the PRC. Both sides came to an accord regarding the conditions, most importantly Tibet had to abolish slavery within a agreed uppon timeframe. The Lhama regime did not do so, thus peaceful unification was off the table and the PLA did the unifying.

1. Ukraine provoked said war for 8 years. Fully believing (or being led to believe) it would win.
2. it did ethnic cleansing in Donbas during that time and was preparing to finish the job when Russia brought the Hammer down
3. In a war the losing side has to make concessions to reach peace, not the winning side. Russia is winning that war, ergo Ukraine has to make concessions. In WW2 Japan surrendered unconditionally, it was not the Allies who made any concessions to Japan. When Prussia invaded Denmark, Denmark conceded Holstein to Prussia. Prussia did not concede anything to Denmark, it won that war. Did you per chance believe that Mexico turned over half of its territory to the USA because it was in a good mode or something? The US defeated Mexico in a war, Mexico had to make huge territorial concessions. It is completely irrelevant who was the agressor in this regard. In other words: Why should I concede you something when I am in a position to take more? You have to concede something to prevent me from taking more.

5 generations of not knowing how peace making works. Something any grand strategy video game would’ve teached you. Or looking up any war in history. Loser makes concessions, how hard is this to get?

Which have to be privately ordered by people outside of Israel and sent to Israel. China stopped selling drones to Israel a while ago.

China and Russia respected the wishes of the palestinean administration is bad how?

And what should China do in your opinion? Invade? Sanction and make the US the biggest propaganda gift of the century? Set up bases in South America against the wishes of the locals and risk military escalation?

Where exactly did it do so? It still respects the wishes of the people from the global south and doesn’t fuck them over.
