China today contains far more cultural diversity than ever before in its history, a country where people from Jews to Gentiles, Buddhists to Christians, Kazaghs to Cantonese to Han Chinese live. China lent its culture to whoever willing to partake in it; people like Marco Polo and others who made the Silk Route of yesteryear. No one ever forced anyone else to be Chinese, but everyone wanted to share in China's rich culture. The Chinese influence is evident everywhere. : : Second, Euros committed far more 'genocidal' acts in this century. The : : majority of Russians live in the European continent.

Give up land? Are you fucking stupid on purpose? Who in their right mind would want to 'give up territory' to attain more natural boundaries. Yes, I do put all the blame (or 90% of it) on the Colonial powers. Where does Chinese colonization take place today? Name several examples? Chinese do leave their country to make a living elsewhere. This is not called colonization, though. Since you bring up Indonesia (out of thin air I suppose): Ethnic Chinese in Indonesia are generally among the most successful, usually in the business of making money. However, discriminatory policies today against Chinese are directed by the government because Indonesians do not want them to get any power. There are many riots, beatings, killings, etc against Chinese. Same thing in Vietnam, same thing in many other countries. : : : : How many Tibetans did China kill and 'crush'?
