        did you visits a school yet?

        it never was chinese. maybe check what happened between 1895-1945. before that the chinese scum eradicated the indigenous people. in 1949 the chinese cowards retreated from the stolen land. (Chiang Kai-sheks) so rule of war from 1949-1987. and then in the 90s some chinese wankers had to compensate for their small dicks and had (again) fantasies of anexing taiwan, hongkong, vietnam, tibet etc.

        basically china is a shit land with very shit people.
