@mxn1948 As expected, you can't help but mention the US. Listen; the US isn't the one proclaiming that it wants all historical US lands, it has its current lands because the people there WANT to be a part of it. And no one is demanding that China relinquish territory that obviously want to be a part of China. But China holds Tibet, which VERY LIKELY doesn't want to be a part of China, yet China holds it anyway because "historical Chinese land". Yet that logic doesn't work because Tibet has been independent LONGER than China had it. If we're using US logic, China HAS to give up Tibet. But even China's logic doesn't make any sense.
China prevents any semblance of human rights to allow for a people to have self-determination, which is reprehensible, yes.
How is that majority policy in the world? I also condemn countries that try to stop independence attempts, including Catalonia.
"wEsT hYpOcRitEs1!!!" is about as tired a trope as anything else. China is a big power now, which means everyone pays more attention to it; like they do the US. People condemn the US for stuff everyone else does as well, but the Americans don't complain about it. Get used to it.
If a bunch of Han move to Tibet right now to make it 60%, that would be a deliberate attempt at ethnic cleansing. Which yes, China is doing, and again its reprehensible. It was a tactic done in the past, which used to be something no one cared about, but nowadays its disgusting. And yet you seem to be A-OK with it in the 21st century. Goes to show the type of people that defend China are all about. You can't cry that people are lashing out at China and then unironically support ethnic cleansing and crushing the rights of minority groups.

@Prosper_Dean Well, seeing as how WW2 is pretty much the only justified war in human history in totality, that's not a bad thing. But if we're talking about justified wars in the "siding with the less bad side", then there are a few; the Korean War, the Yugoslav War, the Gulf War, the Afghan War...and that's about 3/5 wars that were justified/unjustified. Not bad.
Seriously though, where is this coming from? That wasn't the topic, and it seems like you're intentionally mentioning something else to dodge the fact that you were called out for being ignorant about what a defensive war means. I mean again, the Nazi's declared war on the US, and the US invaded; that is literally a defensive war leading to an invasion. Again; grow up. I grew out of this cringey phase when I was in high school. You can too.

@Killzoneguy117 Idk in what world you live in, but the US "Empire" as it were isn't really showing cracks and decline insofar that other powers are just catching up to it. The US' GDP is still growing, its economy is still relatively healthy, its technological advancements still ludicrously high, its connections across the planet unmatched, its military still unmatched, etc. The only real issue for the US is in its social ills, but these are also pretty pale to the likes of China which is considered a "rising" power.
But yes, the Mongol Empire is hardly a blip that just disappeared in seconds. In various forms it existed, like in the Yuan Dynasty, for example.
