But there isnt much about "world domination". Just stuff about China going through cycles of invading its regional neighbors. .


For a "regular" cycle they sure are breaking new ground

Looks like empire building, Smells like empire building and leaves the impression that Tibet, HK and Taiwan are only just the beginning.

China see their rightful place to be ‘the hegemon of Aisa’: Scott Morrison
February 18, 2023 - 10:25AM

Former prime minister Scott Morrison says the West’s decision to help China grow into a world power throughout the past few decades was a grave mistake.

“An accommodating view of China over that time has proved to be, although well-intentioned, arguably one of the most misplaced assumptions in international relations,” Mr Morrison said at a speech in Tokyo.

“President Xi has pursued a new Chinese dream – this dream is to restore China as they see it, to its rightful place as the hegemon of Asia.”

I am not a professional historian but what I've learned is that whites never attacked China (or at least not on a scale that made it to school textbooks), Chinese were mainly plundered by Mongols. Chinese do have a high iq and invented fireworks, but they were largely kept down by Chinese anti-science sentiment until about the 1900s.

Quote:
By admitting that 'culture' and 'race dont exist in a vaccuum' you're admitting that the two things cant be teased apart and tested for scientifically.

If you have some scientific proof of your claim I'll consider it. But the more intuitive opinion seems to be that race and culture are tied. For instance, genetics creates a different physical geometry, so why would the difference in physical geometry suddenly apply to everything except the brain? Because wokes say so? Lol.

Side note: I am not calling anybody racist, but the notion that all races inherently have the same personality (a personality that oddly enough, seems white normative) almost does seem more racist than just accepting there may be genetic influences on personality.

Quote:
So the logical option is to assume culture does not come from race until prove otherwise. If you're so upset about it then start your own thread about it.

Why are you assuming you upset me when I simply disagreed with your opinion? Doesn't mean I'm emotional about your opinion.

Reminding him of basic history that he probably already knows- but for some reason ignores.

Not you.

But since you did in fact "have no knowledge of what I am telling you" why the sarcasm?

I apologize for the collatoral damage of accidentally educating you too. :lol:

A hundred year game indeed? Do not underestimate the Chinese. They are playing a game that has been unfolding since the Qin dinasty.

I am curious if anyone has been able to look inside the Qin dynasty first emperor's tomb yet? During the height of the communist regime's cultural revolution the zealots surprisingly left the first emperor's tomb intact. The mythology surrounding the contents of the tomb was sufficiently believed by even the most brainwashed communists.

then of course Blood > ideology
