Olimpiu, while I appreciate your positive outlook about Chinese, I think some of it is overtly positive.Saying that chinese is peaceful because we mainly kill each other, is like looking at second world war and say that whites are peaceful because they mainly kill each others.
Number wise, there are about as many chinese than there are whites in the world. The Han ethnic outnumber every other ethnic group by very very far. Our civil war is your world war. Our riots is your genocide.
It’s just a different term for saying the same thing.
Because China is just “a country” in western world, westerner tend to use diminutive words to describe china. Some conflicts that kill 30 million people are called civil wars by european if it’s done in China.
That taiping rebellion is a world war size conflict for all purpose.In a sense, different regions in china are like different country.During warlord era, and yes that’s war in warlord, china is one country only in name.By the way, I remember that china recently acquire Tibet.
Mao claimed that Tibet has been part of china for a long time. Ωστόσο, we know what happened. Tibet is too weak and primitive. Any country would swallow weaker countries.
US are not that different than China in that regard. The main difference is that US is far more powerful. Hence, it’s far more tempting for US to wage war. Another reason is US is far richer. Attacking other countries are not lucrative when you can get money more easily through productive means.As china economy grows and grows, I think there will be more and more peaceful world in the future.
Chinese unification is done the Chin Shih Huang, that asshole is worst than any US president. He killed a LOT. His empire last only 12 years after his death, replaced by Han and Chu that fought one another again till another 400 years unification.
Chinese are not that peaceful is a post from: Ελεύθερη αγορά Forever
