CHINESE IMPERIALISM | 2005-12-05
China, in all its thousands of years of history, has never invaded India.
Let me repeat that: China and India have existed for thousands of years right across the mountains from each other and China has never invaded India.
In my lifetime a tiny very wet little idland in the North Sea OWNED India.
Wave after wave of Aryan and pre-Aryan invaders came across the mountains west of China and conquered and OWNED India.
China has never even invaded India.
In fact, with a tiny almost unknown exception that proves the rule, China has never ruled anybody who was not racially Mongoloid.
What others refer to as "Chinese imperialism" is what Europeans would refer to as "taking over buffer areas." For the giant China to take over southeast Asis is the equivalent of Fance taking over Belgium.
It would be aggression, but it would take a real stretch of the imagination to call a conquered Belgium The French Empire.
