Hey, are you the author of "How to make enemies and alienate people"?
alienate what?
If US keep fking itself up, there is no reason China shouldn't wait for a good opportunity to take aim at russia, plus it would not be a unpopular move within or externally. I am also not saying to be dumb and impatient with it, I said to wait for their massive decline and the disparity to widen to huge proportions. It might be in the very distant future, but their crimes should never be forgotten and they should be dealt with regardless when it happens.
it shouldn’t be something China would want to do no matter how justified China is for seeking payback for past grievances. Besides look at how far China has come without taking such a role anyway, sometimes the best revenge takes time, I mean look at Japan right now, everyone knows after the USA is gone, Japan is literally destined to be another province of China given the sorry state of its people right now due to its sucking up tendencies, why rush!
Literally what I said then, which is wait for their decline.
China always played the long game, there are even past dynasties that manage to finally gain back losses after over 600 years of wait. This should not be any different but of course be smart about it and don't lose it again.
If you have to ask that then my message clearly does not involve or applies to you.
Russia handed most of the populated territories like Manchuria back.
As they fking should. Am I supposed to be happy about that??!!
How many territories are they gonna steal and invade from us? Countless million km^2 of lands invaded, countless number of unequal treaties signed in massive favour of colonial powers, countless massacres of native chinese population and countless efforts of settler colonialism and genocide, and I should be happy that those people from moscow didn't swallow the whole of China up??? what kind of sick comment is this?
Also, what the fk do u mean
??? everywhere in China would be populated if it wasn't invaded and had their native population killed off!!! And russia is actually the one that had to force people to move to the far east lands that they stole from china, so if you are trying to imply that unpopulated areas are ok to be taken away then russia need to look at itself first. If you didn't bother to read my previous comment that already addressed all these points, then at least be logical. (Not to mention they are not even satisfied after all that, they literally still fought for Zhen Bao island and Heixiazi island in modern times which is absolutely shameless. P.S. if I hear "uh muh dAmanSkY iSland" from a clueless russian one more time I would fking explode).
^ these type of play with definitions like talking about being "populated" when clearly they already invaded and genocided all the native chinese people there is the typical russian style of bad-faith arguments that I also addressed in my first comment. And I'm really sick of it. The worst part is these are all just deflections, population have nothing to do with the principles of sovereignty in the first place, if you have to deflect about the population, it just further proved that you have no grounds on the sovereignty and your plan is really to just annexing the area first, commit settler colonialism by killing off local population and then claim it belongs to you using your faux "population" argument - which I already said, a typical russian tactic that exist even today.
Imagine being so brutal that some chinese are even willing to die for the disgusting japanese invaders. It was truly the darkest period of humanity where you have really no options. When you are weak, you will be massacred and exploited by everyone.
If russia are so kind like you are trying to suggest they should not invade an inch of our lands in the first place, balkanise our lands into separate independent state or doing separatist shit like invading and funding terrorism movements in sinkiang, let alone still shamelessly fighting for some border islands after all disgusting shit they had done to us since 1820s what is now known as the century of humiliation.
Right now you have a border against natural defensive lines like rivers which is highly stable. You decide if you want to jeopardize that to get some more taiga or not.
Oh right, if we get back our rightful outer-manchuria and all the north-western steppes back, those defensive lines and rivers will suddenly all disappear. And I, as logical person, would rather just have a defensive line than having a bigger combo of defensive lines + addition lands that belongs to me. Wow what a genius strategy.
Thats the most BS cope I've ever heard in my life. And also, it's not just about "some taigas", it's also about principles and to get back on equal footing and righting all the wrongs.
