This "great" nation was built on the corpse of several smaller nations a d ethnic groups. Theire reservations are a Disneyland of death by funny dances and deserve to be protected?



This great nation was not built on the corpse of smaller nation.

Since the Zhou dynasty, which derived from tribal era, China was already a unified entity. The process of creating Zhou was certainly not involving any other nations.

Qin dynasty, China have already been a unified country, under unified laws, economic rules, and mixed culture. With a great deal of characteristics of modern nations.

Qin's unification process is standard warfare between feudal lords. Very much like what happened in the long history of Europe.

Once China was unified this way. The cycle of division and unification have never ceased.

Your statement is at best inaccurate. At worst just random imagination.


The same could be said of the US. I'd even go as far as saying it is historically worse in the US.


Well, no, China's unification was a cultural and ethnicity blanding. It was never a genocide.

First I already debunked the notion that China conquered small nations to form its heritage. No China got it's heritage long ago through tribal merger.

And the US history of founding is patently different, and vastly more brutal and immoral...
