fuck it why not also Korea and Japan and Mongolia and Vietnam and
Because that might mean doing something, and not just having a totem to direct the hate of the people against, the all-powerful, cruel west, who has humiliated China for centuries, even causing the deaths of 50 million Chinese (at the hands of the CCP during the great leap forward).
Stupid politics for stupid people, a common story the world around.
who has humiliated China for centuries
A century.
It was the century of humiliation. Not centuries of humiliation.
Oh, good to hear they either got over the opium wars, or don’t consider the Great Leap Forward to be that humiliating.
The Opium wars were part of the century of humiliation.
In mainland China, the century of humiliation is considered to have ended in 1949 with the founding of the People’s Republic of China. In Taiwan, the century of humiliation is considered to have ended in 1945, when the ROC became a founding member of the United Nations with a permanent seat on the UN security council. (That seat was transferred to the PRC in 1971.)
I mean, as a westerner, Id think losing a war against sparrows would be pretty humiliating too.
You’re not giving the birds enough credit here. Only two wars have been waged against them and they’re 2-0. Fuckers know what they’re doing.
The assumptions of how china thinks in this thread are hilarious, so many people just making stuff up because it allows them to feel superior.
Especially you throwing big numbers around which you clearly don’t have any concept of what they represent, you saw memes that china killed 50 million people and instead of having any curiosity you just use it as a crude cudgel and swing meaninglessly. It’s sad but also kind of funny to me, if you had any concept of history you could have written a post that makes sense but instead you just want to find an excuse to call people stupid - is that not ironic to you, calling out people for stupid politics when you know full well you’ve just invented your argument based on zero actual understanding of what you’re talking about? Isn’t that a far better example of stupid politics for stupid people?
There’s plenty of good reasons to call this statement as its presented stupid but you missed them all and went for something stupid.
Wow thank you for this constructive and informative comment. I learned so much about the knowledge that you have on how the CCP works because you took the time to tell me what you wish everyone would know, instead of just calling everyone except you stupid without expanding on your point.
…oh wait
Pot. Kettle. Black.
Oh, it will get territory from Russia. As soon as Putin has no resources left to sell besides land and people. And China won’t take drunk and depressed people. Has enough of such.
China imports slave labor from N Korea, to make up supply shortages from over cleansing Uyghurs. Russia is using their slave population as cannon fodder right now, so I can’t see them having many people left to trade.
Sauce?
On what?
Literally the entire first sentence.
Here you go. Link
Russia is facing a demographic crisis because Putin’s a goddamn moron. Their population is shrinking (thank fuck). If they were to relinquish land willingly (which I cannot imagine), it would never be any region with significant population.
There was a giant drop in the number of men in the Soviet Union during WWII. This has had “echos” in their population pyramid every 20 years, where there’s a shortfall of new babies being born. They never had a baby boom the way the US did.
This affects all the old Soviet states, including Ukraine.
All that is to say that Putin was a real goddamn idiot by launching a war right in the middle of one of these echos when they’re already having population issues.
85% of Russia’s territory is effectively empty. Almost their entire population lives to the west of the Urals. Any territory China would be interested in would be nearly empty.
Further to my point. Edit: sorry, I made a point elsewhere in this thread that China probably sees no value in Russian land. Nor in Russian people, for that matter. China has no dearth of either. Edit 2: out of curiosity, I looked up the population of Primorsky Krai, which was ceded to Russia by China. It’s 1.9 million, or about 0.1 % of China’s population. So there’s no value in that addition to China’s population. On the other hand, there would be at least some benefit from ports on the Sea of Japan. The better to threaten neighbors and deplete fisheries.
0.1% could be significant if it’s like astrophysicists or cardiothoracic surgeons. No. It’s a bunch of Ivans that can’t stop drinking spoiled potato water. Don’t even know how to fix a dishwasher, let alone something impottsnt. Only good for lifting heavy objects and falling down.
I have been wondering since this war started, what’s preventing China from just taking ALL of Russia. Like, 2021? That’s Russia. 2025? That’s China now.
Russia would never threaten China with nukes, because 1) China ALSO has nukes, and 2) China has been the only thing keeping Russia afloat recently.
So what if something like 9,000,000 soldiers all collectively invaded Russia from one central entrypoint as far east as Chinas border is along Russias, thus splitting Russias military in a two way war.
The United States wouldn’t get involved because that would mean they’re helping Russia. But also, who else WOULD get involved? Putin is lucky that China doesn’t have ME as it’s head of state. Because from my perspective, it’s free real estate that nobody wants to defend, being occupied by a tiger army, and it’s land is full of resources that if China were to monopolize, would grant them a grip around the balls of the rest of the world.
But it would have to be a scorched earth kind of invasion. The kind that pisses off basically everyone, because it leaves every single Russian, military, or citizen, dead. They’d have to come in, take everything, and kill everything. Take the land. The only thing they have to make sure of, is that they DON’T fight Ukraine. They tell Ukraine “We won’t invade your space, but Russia is ours”. And Ukraine would probably take that deal.
But it seems China is very VERY averse to war right now. Which tells me, they aren’t ready for a war.
Because the real world is not a Civ game.
Believe it or not, China isn’t Russia. I can’t believe I’m in the position of defending the PRC, but the PRC doesn’t want the international order destroyed by reckless and unrestrained warfare. They just want to replace the West as top dog in that order. They’ll bully and bluster, just as the US does when the carrot doesn’t work, but, Taiwan aside, they don’t have any desire to start an expensive and pointless war.
Right? Why do civilizations fight wars anyway? If not flat out colonialism and dick measuring, then It’s usually for resources, maybe protection for cultural exclaves if it serves the nation’s geopolitical interest.
All that is to say, Russians are not Chinese. And I don’t think many Eastern Russians would welcome the switch. So, China would be instigating a lot of strife for minimal gains.
Taiwan on the other hand, I can at least understand. I don’t agree with the stance, not in the least, primarily because I believe democracy is superior to communism. Nevertheless, if I had my adversaries 100 miles off my border and their existence hampered me economically and militarily, then I absolutely would subjugate them in any way possible.
Because first of all they would then have to care for all of Russia’s very nationalistic citizens. Second, why would they do anything while they can just sit and watch Russia piss away their entire economy and military?

Look dude, Imma be blunt, but this take has got to be one of the dumbest takes I think I’ve ever seen regarding politics.
You really think there wouldn’t be any consequences at all for just culling 100 million people off the face of the Earth? That’s more than every single death in World War II.
Russia and the world is lucky to not have you as the leader of China because frankly your username matches the quality of the take.
I guess when you made the point that this is how you would do it if you were in charge, none of us expected that you were saying that you would deliberately commit genocide.
Really fucking weird thing to say…
They can just take with nearly no resistance if they just let it all collapse. Also, they don’t have to put their actual combat readiness to the test.
Russia is an important geopolitical ally for China. Tension between them is not advantageous at this time.
Also, Americans love dunking on the Russian army, and while it maybe wasn’t as formidable as we thought, it’s still significant. It’s not as if it would be totally free.
Uhh, they’re getting dunked on by their own version of Canada.
It would be a wipe, Russia has nowhere near enough people to defend siberia, kthey can’t even defend a few hundred miles south of moscow.
So how many times did the US invade another country and won within a three days “special operation” time?
Winning has never been the problem, keeping the peace has been.
But running in and clearing out opposing forces on the field? We’re amazing at that.
The only forces Russians are good at beating are civilians when they’re driving tanks.
So that’s how you guys completely whiped out the Taliban /s
We utterly destroyed them, but then they just ran and hid for decades in the mountains, and short of blowing up the mountains there’s not a lot you can do.
Course, they killed 20x as many Russians, so at least our score isn’t as bad. And the Russians were trying to wipe them out.
And the Viet Cong.
what’s preventing China from just taking ALL of Russia
What for? Russia is already drifting into becoming a China’s satellite state. Besides, there’s another resource-rich, sparsely populated, 99.9% Asian country right by their border, with barely any security and which would’ve been part of China already if not for some weeb. If they are going for conquest, Mongolia would be the second target right after Taiwan, but attacking it would tip off Russia to go all in on defense.
Russia would never threaten China with nukes, because 1) China ALSO has nukes, and 2) China has been the only thing keeping Russia afloat recently.
The problem here is the amount of them and population density. Just one bomb dropped randomly somewhere in China would probably cause more casualties than the entire Chinese nuclear arsenal targeting the most populous Russian cities. And Russia has an order of magnitude more…
Mongolia is a democracy and NATO partner there’s a chance that the west would actually care. Mostly though neither China or Russia are even trying to touch it because they prefer having a buffer state in between them that is not aligned to either, but has the diplomatic wherewithal to have good relationships with both.
Also it’s a fucking desert plateau. There’s a reason there’s so few Mongolians. Few things grow there and practically nothing grows well, and there already is quite an issue with overgrazing because animal husbandry is pretty much the only thing you can actually do on the land. And who is to say that copper is going to be cheaper after you conquer the land? It’s not like Mongolia would be unwilling to export. Even if you could do it for cheaper, still probably not worth the political headache. And sanctions.
Mongolia is a democracy and NATO partner
Seeing how they were happy to meet Putin the other day, it didn’t look like. It was like watching a dog meeting his master after a long time
They were also happy to not give permits for the Power of Siberia pipeline. They’re 3.5m people on a gigantic piece of land right in between Russia and China, I don’t blame them for appeasing: Their very existence hinges on convincing two authoritarian states that they’re not a puppet of the other. In this case, also convincing them that they’re not a puppet of what they’re calling their third neighbours. They’re doomed to neutrality.
Criticise any other country for not executing that arrest warrant, or at least uninviting Putin, heck while you’re at it criticise a couple of alleged democracies that they’re not a signatory: But not Mongolia. They have damn good reasons to not go through with it and as far as I’m aware, that’s actually covered in the Rome statute. They’re pulling the national security card and they’re right about it.
Holy shit. Only 3.5 million people in Mongolia! I had no idea.
Blime the bloody baron’s bio is a ride
You’re right, nobody wants to defend it. There’s nothing there worth defending. I mean, there’s Vladivostok, but it’s not really worth going to war over. They could take a sliver of land at the Russia/NK border so that they could build a port, but I’m sure they have no issue with river traffic as it is, or just trucking into North Korea to use one of their ports. I’m sure China funded their construction anyway.
Russia would never threaten China with nukes, because 1) China ALSO has nukes, and 2) China has been the only thing keeping Russia afloat recently.
But it would have to be a scorched earth kind of invasion. The kind that pisses off basically everyone, because it leaves every single Russian, military, or citizen, dead. They’d have to come in, take everything, and kill everything. Take the land.
First of all, if you’re being invaded by an army planning to genocide your entire population, then you have no reason not to use every weapon in your arsenal. If the options are A: China kills 100% of your populace or B: Launch nukes and even 1% of your populace survives whatever follows, then B is the most rational choice.
Secondly, there’s no reason to assume that states will make rational decisions to begin with. I’d say the current state of affairs in Ukraine is a very good example of that in action. So even if China wasn’t planning to genocide all of Russia, even if it was some kind of “benevolent” invasion where they were going to tiptoe around the flower beds, gently pry Putin out of the Kremlin, and basically leave everything the same except that now Russians pay for groceries with renminbi instead of rubles… there’s still every reason to imagine that Putin and his top brass would still launch nukes on the mere principle of the thing.
So no, let’s not glibly plan for a fast forward on nuclear Armageddon, thank you very much.
But it seems China is very VERY averse to war right now. Which tells me, they aren’t ready for a war.
Most american shit I’ve ever heard.
Then they should prove us wrong. Whenever they’re ready, we have nothing planned.
You mean nothing other than the 4 wars the US is involved in. It’s cute that you think this is a good thing, most countries go for the healthcare and infrastructure.
Always room for more.
Could always pull a couple hundred billions from social security or something for another few Abu Ghraibs, am I right? You go get’em, Tiger
We already spent the money, shame to have it go to waste.
Just wish we could give the F-15s their due, truly let the eagles soar and do what they were born to do.
The only thing of value in Russian territory is mineral resources, not the territory itself. China has vast, unpopulated territories (check a population density map). If they deem the minerals not worth the conflict, why bother? They can just buy whatever shit they want.
On a less deranged take, there’s definitely potential to mend the Sino-Soviet split. Their interests and capabilities dovetail quite a bit, but I suspect unification is wildly impractical for any number of cultural and historic reasons. OTOH, if they presented a Warsaw Pact-style alliance, perhaps using the cudgel of mutually assured economic destruction instead of nuclear destruction, that’s a hell of an act for the West to try to follow.
The US would get involved, two advisaries attacking each other would give the US opportunities to leverage influence and destabilize. The dangerous thing is that they have nukes so there is a delicate balance when trying to destabilize while ensuring advance weaponry does not fall into the wrong hands.
I would have much more respect for China if they used that as the bargaining chip to force Puttie to cut the shit and end this thing
what’s preventing China from just taking ALL of Russia
The same thing that’s made china not have an overt military conflict for the past half century: they’re not a militaristic, expansionist country. I know that’s inconceivable for bloodthirsty Americans, but really, give it a thought, which country has participated in more overt conflicts in the past half century.
The same thing that’s made china not have an overt military conflict for the past half century: they’re not a militaristic, expansionist country.
Uh…
The Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia all disagree..
India disagrees.
Nepal disagrees.
Bhutan disagrees.
I could keep going but my train is almost at my stop. China tries their best to keep their conflicts on the quiet-side to prevent sanctions like the west did to Russia.
Thank you for proving me right by bringing as your utmost evidence BBC (the unbiased source that uses the grey “China filter” on videos) reports that “some countries are purportedly sad because of a map”. Really, very telling that that’s the best you’ve got. In the meanwhile, NATO bombed Yugoslavia and Libya, and the US outright invaded Iraq and Afghanistan to name just a select few.
You guys are unbelievable.
“Your evidence is overwhelming, so I will point out what I don’t like about one source, ignore all others, and then try to use whataboutism to further bury myself in this hole I’ve created .”
“your evidence is overwhelming”
I explicitly said that all your sources are “western-biased source reports that some government official of a bordering country cries at slight border tensions”. By that logic, Spain is a hugely militaristic, imperialist and expansionist regime:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perejil_Island_crisis?wprov=sfla1
I wasn’t doing whataboutism, I was bringing real examples of militarism as opposed to literal news cuts of government officials crying at maps that you provided as “overwhelming evidence”.

Okay, replace him with a large percentage of Tibetans in the world.
Or are they all pedophiles?
Please tell me you have a reliable source on the number of Tibetans in Tibet that want independence from China.
Let’s then compare that to Catalonians in Spain, or to Quebec nationals in Canada, or to indigenous colonies in the US

I said “the world” and not “China.”

None of those places were conquered within living memory, the thing you said China doesn’t do.
(Believe it or not, arguing that they like being conquered and colonized doesn’t mean they weren’t conquered and colonized.)
(Believe it or not, arguing that they like being conquered and colonized doesn’t mean they weren’t conquered and colonized.)
“The right of self-determination is only relevant when it’s bad for China :(”
Tibet was a literal feudal state with absolutist power, where Tibetans worked the land as serfs for their feudal lords as they were legally tied to it. The liberation army liberated the Tibetans from their feudal yoke in a non-colonial way (we can get into the details if you want to).
None of those places were conquered within living memory, the thing you said China doesn’t do.
Ok, hopefully we’ll stop hearing the imperialists cry about how much better Tibet was under feudalism in 20 years, when it’s no longer living memory.
-
That is what the Chinese leadership likes to claim. That it’s cultural, and their culture is one of trade and cooperation, not expansion. And I don’t doubt that they are earnest in saying that. I mean they truly believe themselves to be different. But we know that once a power becomes global, i.e. when its interests and investments extend well beyond its borders, its military presence will also expand, and it will engage in conflict to protect said global interests. Whether it’s the US, Russia, or China, the dynamic at a certain level is the same. China is already growing a more formidable army and expanding into the South China Sea. This is only the beginning.
So basically “China bad because future china bad source: trust me bro”?

Because China has never had expansionist ambitions. I know that goes against hundreds of years of Yellow Peril tropes in Western media, but it’s true.
China’s history has been a cycle of ethnic Han states uniting into a larger ethnic Han state, and then splitting, and then re-uniting. As Han populations spread, those areas would eventually be integrated into China, but China had very little interest in annexing non-Han areas.
Before anyone asks, Tibet was unified with China when both areas were conquered by the Mongols. It wasn’t an act of Chinese expansion.
And Vietnam was considered to be a Han area. The literate classes of Vietnam spoke Chinese and were culturally Chinese before being incorporated into the Han dynasty.
Because China has never had expansionist ambitions. I know that goes against hundreds of years of Yellow Peril tropes in Western media, but it’s true.
That’s the most ignorant thing I’ve ever heard in my life.
No, of course they don’t have expansionist ambitions, because they consider a large part of Siberia theirs, including Primosky Krai which was ceded by the Qing after the opium wars, they lost Korea and Taiwan in the Sino-Japenese War.
They want what every country that once owned 1 speck of sand beyond their borders 1000 years ago wants: “Repayment of past injustices!”, just like Israelis want Israel and Jerusalem, Russia wants Ukraine and the other republics, Andalusia wants independence.
Sometime, long ago, their country was great, and they deserve it back, because the moment it had the largest borders was the right moment, and everything since then is an insult to their greatness.
Moscow to this day still considers itself heir to Rome, as stupid as that sounds, the greatest empire in history devolving into a bunch of drunk gangsters and pimps.
They want what every country that once owned 1 speck of sand beyond their borders 1000 years ago wants: “Repayment of past injustices!”
No, they want the unification of ethnic Han states, which is why they want Taiwan and not Vladivostok.
Yeah well some of those “Han states” don’t consider themselves “Han states” anymore.
So I guess they need to do something censored to themselves.
Or maybe India needs to unify all lands descended from Hinduism, including Buddhism in the east?
Everybody has an argument to do some moronic thing they want to do, because things will be the way they’re supposed to be.
They should let Tibet and Xinjiang go, those aren’t Han people, they shouldn’t be a part of the great Han motherland.
Yeah well some of those “Han states” don’t consider themselves “Han states” anymore.
I assume you must mean some place other than Taiwan, because Taiwan is still very much Han.
Maybe, but they don’t want any part of that “Han Motherland” you speak of.
At least not while the CCP is anywhere but up against the same wall they put so many other Chinese.
Maybe, but they don’t want any part of that “Han Motherland” you speak of.
I didn’t say anything about a Han Motherland, so I don’t know why you’re using quotation marks.
And Taiwan does desire the reunification of Han areas. Under the government of the ROC.
That’s the most ignorant thing I’ve ever heard in my life.
But it’s true.
No, of course they don’t have expansionist ambitions, because they consider a large part of Siberia theirs, including Primosky Krai which was ceded by the Qing
This article was literally about China not wanting Primosky Krai, and the president of Taiwan asking why.
You didn’t read the article, did you?
No, they want it back, they’ve had discussions during the cold war and since.
He’s saying they’re not doing anything about it now:
Complete restoration of China’s losses in that time is a driving narrative of the CCP, and today is largely focused on Taiwan.
However, Lai, who was elected president in January, noted that China also lost land to Russia during that period but was not making any effort to take it back
He’s saying Taiwan is just a noisy point to distract the domestic hardliners, which it is.
Russia is literally vulnerable now and 100% dependent on China, they could ask for it back if they wanted, but what China wants is the political issue.
Russia has kinda shitty land afaik. Not a ton of resources either, iirc. I believe a decent chunk of it is tagia forests and (soon to be) swampy permafrost zone. Not that much of china’s land is great for stuff like farming either. Bragging rights, I guess, but other than the people, I think most land is of little use.
Ah, well you see, China doesn’t have a casus belli to claim all of Russia. Of course, they might have deployed their foreign minister over to Fabricate Claims, but if so, they haven’t had much success with it. The most they could take right now is a duchy or a county, and it’s just not worth the Prestige penalty, or the costs of keeping their levies raised long enough to get their Warscore to 100%.
Come the fuck on. Taiwan was returned to China after WW2. It’s where the Chinese national govt fled to (you know, adversary), it’s populated by Chinese, and is strategically important because it blocks China in. I don’t like the situation any more than anyone else but let’s discuss it intelligently rather than stupid gotchas.
Stupid gotchas have their place in undermining imperialistic narratives about how Taiwan “rightfully” belongs to the PRC.
No territory rightfully belongs to anyone but it’s inhabitants.
What do you think the situation would be if the US Civil War ended in a stalemate? Either side drove the other to Long Island, except in this case Long Island controls all your sea access. (If they were both adamant on taking over the other and neither side signed a peace treaty.) That’s what this is, it’s a civil war that never ended. I’m going to leave the rest of that one alone, but you should explore your line of thinking on it.
it blocks china in
How exactly does a small island off the south east coast block China in?
There’s a string of Japanese islands from Japan to Taiwan called the Ryukyu Islands. If someone wanted to use those islands to block China in, it would be extremely simple. Between Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and in the South Philippines, Malaysia they are easily blocked in. If they have Taiwan they have an out, that’s why they want it so badly (besides all the other things).
It really clicked in for me when I saw these kind of maps. These ones aren’t quite as good or blatant, you have to look a bit more carefully. Remember Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Philippines and Malaysia are US allies.
https://bigthink.com/strange-maps/an-astronauts-view-reveals-chinas-geopolitical-claustrophobia/
https://www.geostrategy.org.uk/research/the-chinese-perspective-of-the-pacific-region/
Why on earth would the US & allies want to “block in” China?
There was a time when China was being carved up just like Africa had been. They were a hair away from ending up like Africa. There’s plenty to not like about China, but I can understand their paranoia.
Wut, that doesn’t make any kind of sense like at all.
A side question, what’s your take on the massacre on Tianmen square and also the prosecution of the yughurs?
Edit: Busted!
Being invaded for centuries doesn’t make sense why they’re afraid of being invaded?
Like I said there are plenty of things to not like about China, but I can understand their paranoia. That you can’t understand either of these statements sets off my bad faith spidy sense. Ciao.
Edit: You think that’s busted? lol. Looks like I was right.
Remember Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Philippines and Malaysia are US allies.
It’s a little more than just being allies.
The South Korean military is under US control. (South Korea has symbolic control during peace time, but “operational control” reverts to the US during wartime.) South Korea has been asking the US to give them operational control of their own army for decades, but the US has never done so.
And Japan does not have its own army. As per the US-Japan Security Treaty (which was forced on Japan after WWII), the US military is in charge of the defense of Japan. The US has more troops in Japan than in any other foreign country.
Oh, the old USA bad…
My point is that the US has an unusually high degree of control over the waters near China’s coast.
International waters or other countries waters are none of chinas business.
Side question, what’s your take on the massacre on Tianmen square and also the prosecution of the yughurs?
International waters or other countries waters are none of chinas business.
Someone upthread asked how China was blocked in, and I was helping to answer their question.
what’s your take on the massacre on Tianmen square and also the prosecution of the yughurs?
My take is you can’t spell either of them correctly.
Not what the USA said about Cuba but OK
Ok Tankie
Hey I got my first “I disagree so you must be a tankie” lol.

Oh and he’s stuck on repeat already. Stunning vocabulary and discussion skills on display. Have fun!
OK. Taiwan wants to be independent. It effectively already is.
Done.
Here’s a thought experiment: Take the US civil war, the Confederacy says it’s the real US. Does that make it a country? Does the North get to say anything about that? Who decides what?
In this case Taiwan has never said it’s it’s own country, you can thank the delusional kmt for that. They (Taiwan) said they are the real China. So in our thought experiment: the Confederacy says it’s the US, the North says it’s the US, and nothing goes anywhere. Who gets to say what? Do foreign countries get a say?
This is not half the country splitting up, this is an island.
If the confederacy evacuated to florida, diverged culturally, was defacto independent and minding thier own business other than some stupid ancient political fued that doesn’t matter?
Hell yes they should be independent. I would be utterly ashamed of the US for invading a Florida that did not want to be invade.
I said it in a different comment: one side drives the other to Long Island. Both sides continue to say they are the US, neither wants to sign a peace treaty or even armistice, both sides want and claim the other’s land. They don’t say they’re independent, they say they are the US. And in this case Long Island controls yoursea access and is supported by a hostile country. Remember the war never ended, neither side signed or wanted to sign shit. What now? Who gets to decide? Do foreign countries get to decide?
People today are still obsessed with the civil war and fly Confederate flags, and that shit was actually settled and a long time ago too. China’s is much more recent and still relevant. See my other comments.
Don’t threaten them with a good time.
What? Russia’s computer chips are like shit kids make in their garages in any civilized country. What would anyone want with Russians?
