Ah. Xinjiang and Tibet should defintely be painted in red. Also Vietnam without a doubt. Korea is a matter of definition.
Socialism
Rules TBD.
🤣
Tibet was a slave state when it was liberated during the revolution and this map states clearly "after the PRC was founded" piss off with this lib ass well ackshually shit.
Also Hong Kong, not really an invasion, but definitely not a welcomed rule of power after the UK left.
I’m surprised that nobody defended the Western Allies’ takeover of former Axis empires yet. I am going to write this to prevent any attempts:
The Western Allies reused the Empire of Japan’s system of forced prostitution.
Italian anticommunists pardoned Fascists while punishing thousands of partisans; there was no equivalent to the Nuremberg Trials for the Italian Fascists; the liberal bourgeoisie refused to prosecute Fascists for their atrocities in Ethiopia; and there were continuities between Fascism & the post‐1945 Italian police.
When the Western Allies took Algeria from the Axis, they let the fascists continue running the internment camps; important elements of the Fascist era survived in postwar France.
The U.S. Army continued keeping Jews in the Axis’s concentration camps (‘We appear to be treating the Jews as the Nazis treated them, except that we do not exterminate them.’ — Harry Truman, Sept. 1946); West Germany’s régime was polluted with surviving Axis personnel; fascist elements survived in West Germany.
Somebody could argue that there was no alternative to the Western Allies, but plenty of partisans were active in France, for example, and the Eastern Allies could have reached every Axis‐occupied region given enough time.
I’ll freely concede that the Western Allies were better than the Axis… but that’s not exactly saying much.
The U.S. Army continued keeping Jews in the Axis’s concentration camps (‘We appear to be treating the Jews as the Nazis treated them, except that we do not exterminate them.’ — Harry Truman, Sept. 1946)
This point specifically I think is unfair. When you liberate a prison that has prisoners from far away, you can't necessarily arrange for everyone to get sent home immediately. Honestly, with the state of anatomical atrophy the survivors had been reduced to -- such that eating a larger-than-average meal would kill them -- I'd worry about them even being able to make the trip if it was taken immediately.
I could be missing something though (and I concede that them still being there in Sept. 1946 means they were probably being unduly deprioritized)
Is the blue in the bottom image the seas and oceans of the world or areas that China claims as the South China sea?
Ramming Philippines ships in Phillipines waters is hardly peaceful conduct.
Don't get me wrong, USA are horrific and absolutely need to be held to account but that doesn't mean China are good guys. All major world powers act like dicks to maintain their own interests.
Oh, and since when is China socialist? The weather disparity there is hardly people's ownership of the means of production.
@yogthos
well... if the map also shows where the US has acted clandestinely for its own imperialist purposes, the map gets a little redder.
Includes Korea for America. Doesn't include Korea for China.
I'm starting to think this is total horseshit guys
Ah yes, China helping Korea liberate itself from the US invasion is occupation. I'm starting to think I want whatever drugs Fleur is having.
They literally just did the same thing the US did but for the other side.
This is literally the dumbest thing that's been said on this site in a long time.
Seriously please listen to blowback season three for basic education on the Korean War you don't know wtf you are talking about.
@yogthos Your map is wrong. This comment from the linked thread probably sums it up best...
"loaExMachina
@sh.itjust.works
Image says “Has invaded since PRC was founded”, not “is occupying right now”, don’t try to change the terms of the debate when contradicted. You still could’ve made a point that China invaded much fewer countries than the US, but at least try to have an accurate map or the accurate words."
pretty disingenuous to call border skirmishes invasions if you ask me
@yogthos If you send your military across another countries' border without that countries' permission that's generally referred to as an invasion, but don't let facts get in the way of your CCP shilling.
Invasion is an act where a country enters another country by force with the objective of taking control of it. But don't let your lack of English cprehension stop you from making a clown of yourself.

@yogthos CCP military went into Indian territory without permission, not once but on several occasions, many of which resulted in violence. On each occasion China military wasn't crossing the border to have a picnic, the goal is the gradual encroachment of territory, a tactic used by CCP with 17 countries that CCP think they own. https://theweek.com/news/world-news/china/955728/all-countries-china-territory-disputes
I'm curious now, can the CCP stlll pay you to shill for them with the Chinese economy so bad now, or do you shill for free to show patriotism?
I have no idea what CCP is.
@yogthos You know what the PRC is but no idea what the CCP is....
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA you're not a very good shill are you, funny, but not very good.
I know what CPC is, I have no idea what CCP is. Maybe it's just that people who huff too much gas can't spell Communist Party of China correctly? 🤷
@yogthos In the West it's CCP. Call it what you want in China. Either way the bottom part of your map is wrong.
nah, it's called CPC, and anybody who can't spell that right outs themselves as an ignoramus. Once corrected, and insisting on continuing to spell it wrong they out themselves as an idiot.
@yogthos You really need to work on your shilling it's pretty bad NGL. Also that map is still wrong.
@yogthos Ummm.... you sure about that?
(Also, China is not the only socialist empire in the history 😉 )
