@chenjiang3031 you dont have 5000 years of history but 2200 and add 800 more for preChina if you want. China was ended 400 years ago when the foreign Qing conquered it and subjegated Chinese. This isnt any different than most nations on earth. The English are 3000 years old had conquerors just like China, Greece, Italy, Nigerians are 3000 years old. They also had conquerors and so is France and Mexico and so on. There is nothing unique about China, its age or how it was conquered or how its been divided up again. China knows much of its history because Western nations brought historians and archeologists who discovered and uncovered much of what you know today. Thank a westerner next time you see one. Sadly, most was destroyed and denounced in a cultural revolution around 100 years ago. The destruction of the 4 olds

@WingkKong Oh good, the usual Chinese revisionism where not only were they not the losers BUT actually China defeated them and was the real winner! The foreigner conquerors TOOK whatever Chinese traditions, structures they wanted because they owned them now and Chinese didn't. Nope, China didn't have a tradition where Han Chinese were made to dress up in foreign clothes and hairstyles and be 2nd class (slave class) inside their own country. but yes, for example, when nearly any nation conquered another they used the existing government structures bureaucracy and the language of the conquered peoples. Just the same when China was conquered by Mongols (who were absolutely NOT Chinese nor Han nor any kind of Chinese at all) and later when the last Foreigners defeated and conquered and took over China and ruled and owned and enslaved the Han. Same. Same conquering that always went on everywhere though Chinese were especially humiliated and more thoroughly turned into lower class conquered people. Good news: Western Powers defeated the Foreign Rulers and the Han were finally liberated and given their country back. Thank some Westerners next time you see one. They lifted millions of Han out of extreme defeat and slavery. (then did it again a few years later by defeating the Japanese conquerors).

@pursuitolikes5217 it ended when the foreign invaders conquered China and made it a Qing land for 400 years. 75 years ago, you could say the Chinese finally took back China except the peasants were Moscow backed anti-Chinese rebels who promptly started erasing not only the Qing but all of the 4 Olds, from hanging corpses of Confucius to destroying Ming tombs to poetry and books and every idiom, religious rite, cultural traditions and not just destroying the 4 Chinese cultures but erasing the very memory of them. This might be why you felt angry and confused when the history i described didnt match what youve heard or.. what youve never heard before.

@kewan2045 nobody but yes corporations nowadays buy tge rights to the invention. Japan the same these days and yes the Chinese who bought Japans 1990s bullet trains also have all kinds of obligations, corporate legal BS etc. Bjt yes the USA has awesome personal cars and use 'airplanes' if they need high speed travel. Personally, i dont like bullet train travel at all other than yes its as fast as 30 years ago when the Japanese went with that American invention. Now you know, creep

@inh415 yes of course it is. The USA has the longest network of train tracks of any nation on earth. Its expanding large track transport, its famously part of US culture, expanding into the West, (lots of movies about it) and it innovated hifh speed rail. Now what, goof?

@inh415 hmm but in Japan and around the world there is nothing more iconic than a Western movie with big locomotives, the anglospheres americanism catchphrase "the wrong side of the tracks", uncountable American action films running or jumping trains, runaway train movies and so now youve had to change your goof shit lies to a sneaky switch where you pretend I claimed in a poll about whos best known for trains its the USA but Japan would really get first place aha! You are a dishonest person. Yuck
