You mean like Xinjiang, Tibet and Inner Mongolia? Yes colonisation probably wasn't good but that's just what we did for approximately 5,000 from the first modern civilization. Before that we just beating neighbouring tribes with clubs to steal women and food. Isn't it great to live in the modern world whereby any standard everyone better off, life expectancy 100 years ago was about 40 as it was for the previous millennium or so, now it's about 70 or so on a world basis, modern technology and relatively no wars since WWII has given us so much.

@terencesam2191 China has more billionaires per unit of GDP than the US and 100 billionaire in parliament, saying but outside the top 10% or whatever they are equally poor, how exactly is that better distribution, that distribution is more akin to a feudal system which I would argue it actually is with all the billionaire running the country.
