During Korean war, PLA soldiers were poorly trained, had crappy equipment and little air support, naval support. Our only ally was North Korea for ally (Soviet Union provided equipment only) and we fought against the better equipped, well trained, combined armies of South Korea, USA, UK, Canada, Turkey, Australia, Philippines, New Zealand, Thailand, Greece, France, Colombia, Netherlands, Luxembourg, etc. with Japan in the background manufacturing war equipment for the Allies
And yet, the combined might of 16 Allied nations did not win the Korean War? Even with all their superior training and equipment and combat experience? Against poorly trained, poorly equipped Chinese soldiers, with only North Korea soldiers as our allies?

-China has world's longest range ICBM, the DF-41, with operational range of 13,000 km to 15,000 km, enabling China to bypass barriers like the seas and the Himalayas, by literally flying over them.
-China has demonstrated anti-satellite capabilities in 2007, when a 750 kg satellite in orbit at altitude of 865 km was taken out by a ground launched missile. If PLA takes out Indian Army satellites, their ground troops will be at severe disadvantage without satellite support.
-During wartime, China can always manufacture more tanks, aircraft, ammunition and equipment to replace losses. Indian on the other hand, has to rely on purchasing foreign military hardware from USA and Russia, and these countries can suddenly increase the prices, because they know India has no choice but to buy them.
-Pakistan's status has never impeded them from being thorn in India's side.
-Tibetans are enjoying modern amenities built by China, like roads, houses, schools, universities, hospitals, power stations, running water, gas, electricity, and technology like cars, smartphones, computers, Internet, WiFi, mobile phone coverage, under China. As ethnic minority in China, Tibetans get special exemption from taxes, free education up to university, and special healthcare benefits and bursaries. Why would they want to lose all this?

Chinese people been recording history since before Qin Shi HuangDi, First Emperor of China, even unified China. We have records of all 650+ Chinese leaders, from before Xia to after Qing dynasty. We know the names of each emperor, their form of government, the names of their top generals, the size of their armies and territory. We know how each emperor ruled, whether benevolent or cruel, how many concubines they had, how many sons were born and how many daughters. We recorded every war China had ever won and lost, how many soldiers and civilians were killed, how much tribute was paid to China and how much tribute was given in return. We know how each emperor lived and died, whether he was poisoned, and which son succeeded him, and what happened to his other sons and daughters. Few other countries have records of their history that even approaches Chinese standards. Which other countries can produce sufficient evidence to even dispute our claims?
Even Goguryeo's history was recorded from China's point of view. Korea didn't even exist yet, and Korean scholars have to consult Chinese archives for information about Goguryeo's history. They then make up some vague claim that Goryeo is named after Goguryeo, but have no evidence support their claim.

+Soul Chicken Nobody cares about China's interests except Chinese. Nobody wants to see China succeed, except Chinese. Nobody can defend China, except Chinese. Modern China was built by sweat, blood, tears and sacrifice of the Chinese people to through wars, invasion, famine, poverty, rebellions and revolutions. There were many failures and mistakes along the way, but Chinese people turned China from dirt poor, war torn and starving country, into world's 2nd largest economy, protected by world's 2nd largest military spending and largest land army, the PLA. If you want to label Chinese people who defend China as "trolls" then aren't you implying that Indians who defend their country are trolls as well?
Under the Dalai Lama rule, Tibet was brutal theocracy, where 95% of the population were slaves and the remaining 5% elites were slave owners. Tibetan mountainous soil was poor and the serfs had to work to grow enough food to feed the population and the 5% elites. Starvation was commonplace, and criminals were punished by torture, amputation and even skinning. There is this Tibetans drum called damaru which consists of two human skulls and the drumskin is made from human skin and the drumstick from human bone.
When Tibet returned to Chinese rule, it was modernized and roads, schools, universities, hospitals were built, as well as running water, gas and electricity. Tibetans today have access to cars, mobile phones, computers and there is Internet coverage, WiFi, and mobile phone reception, even in such a remote location like Tibet. The population of Tibet has grown from about 1 million in 1951 to 3 million people today, as food can now be imported from the mainland.
What makes you think Tibetans will absolutely rise up against China then? Have you been to Tibet and asked the locals? Today, Tibet has a thriving tourist industry, because China built Qinghai railway through difficult mountainous terrain to connect the normally isolated Tibet to the rest of the world.

China has settled boundary dispute approximately of 20,000 km with 12 countries out of the 22,000 km and is yet to settle about 2,000 km of boundary involving India and Bhutan.

-In 1962, Mongolia and China signed border agreement.
-In 1963, Afghanistan and China signed border agreement.
-In 1963, Pakistan and China signed border agreement.

Looking from Pakistan perspective, India also supported Bangladesh independence from East Pakistan, so isn't India being hostile towards Pakistan as well, by dividing its country and creating Bangladesh? Why you allow your original country of British India, to become so divided today? Each division only weakens the former country, and create tensions between the individual states. Just imagined if British India had resisted the British and chosen to remained "unpartitioned" and all those conflicts and bloodshed between India and Pakistan didn't happened. Where would India be today if history happened differently?
But its too late now, and Pakistan is its own sovereign country, and so is Bangladesh. Why do you want to keep on opposing each other, even after 70 years? How will Asia ever become strong, if we are constantly fighting amongst ourselves? China wants to make Asia strong, by building infrastructure in less developed countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Nepal, because we believe building infrastructure is laying the foundations for countries to develop themselves.
Look at the Western approach to terrorism. They invade Middle East country and bomb their cities, resulting in civilian casualties, and these people become angry and join the terrorists to fight against USA. For example, Al Qaeda was once trained by CIA, but eventually rebelled against USA. Even the formation of ISIL has been credited to USA's constant intervention in Middle Eastern wars. When a terrorist cell is destroyed, another one pops up in its place, so it is apparent that US approach simply does not work. So why should we follow their approach then, when its been fighting wars in Middle East for 15 years without end in sight?

+PrankFrank Why you keep repeat the same few points over and over and expect other people to believe you? Just because you keep repeating it?
1) Whether the goods are intermediary or not, Korean exports to China are worth US$124.4 billion, while export to USA is worth $66.8 billion. UK is less than $10 billion, and rest of Europe is not even mentioned at all in this article below. I don't know how you can still outright lie about Europeans being South Korea's major market over China and still expect people to believe you.

2) Jeju is island south of Korea, and increased domestic tourists simply means more local Korean tourists visit the Island instead of Chinese tourists. This means money only circulate within Korea, and not between foreign tourists and Korea. Jeju doing well, but that doesn't represent the rest of S. Korea. American and European tourist percentage increases are still insignificant compared to Chinese tourists. In 2016, Korea has seen almost 7 000 000 Chinese tourists and only 600 000 US tourists, and negligible amount of European tourists. *What are the small percentage increase in US and European tourists going to matter when compared to decreases in Chinese tourists?
3) FlashMemory? Just come down to Shenzhen and you can find dozens varieties of flash drives for sale, made by Chinese companies locally. America and Europe may use Apple and Samsung, but China is world's largest mobile phone market, with 1 300 000 000 users, compared to USA's 300 000 000 users. This is reason why foreign mobile phone companies keep trying tap into Chinese market.
