Annexation of Tibet (1950-1951)

Southern Mongolia Annexation (1947-1949)

Civil-war era. Calling the liberation of Tibet expansionism is wild.

The rest are basically border conflicts which literally every country in the old continent have.

If you go back 1000 years there was no “China” country, there was the Ming Empire in the China region

You’d be hard-pressed to find a big country with such preservation of language, traditions, culture, architecture and artistic styles, etc. the way China does, idk what’s your point

Uh… How exactly is China historically expansionist? Isn’t Europe much, much worse by any metric at basically any point of history you choose?

I could say that it’s heavily funded by the public through organisms like the CERN in Europe. Public funding of cool open source software seems to me the way to go
