China claims ancient kingdom

This is really not a suprising story because that is how China has expanded over the centuries. Last October, when the lame-duck Chinese president Hu Jintao spoke at the Australian Parliament, he basically said it was the Chinese who first found Australia. A lot of Australian officials felt the same way as the Koreans are now feeling. A new book came out last year in U.S. saying the same thing about America that it was discovered by a lost Chinese fleet during the Ming dynasty.The Chinese just make up some stories using fairytales and then justify them as historic reality. Pretty soon They might claim that the Earth is part of China "since ancient times" because the God in the Bible and the Allah in the Quran is the Huandi, the forefather of the Chinese. This is how East Turkestan, Tibet, (Inner) Mongolia and Manchuria became a part of China "since ancient times". China's neighbors know such Chinese intention very well because of their historic relations with China. And if you ask any Uyghur, Tibetan, Mongol, or Manchu about it, you will have a better understanding of China's expansionist mentality deeply imbedded in its history.

Once I read a an article about the invention of the airplane on a Chinese magazine called "Ao Mi" or "Mystery". The article said it was the Chinese who first invented it several hundred years before Wright Brothers did in U.S. The Chinese have a habit of claiming every invention as exclusively Chinese as long as there is no evidence that invention was invented by others. Paper, Compas, Printing, and Gun-powder etc, and even Football/Soccer. Soccer may be big today in China but most Chinese knew nothing about it before the 1990s. After Chinese claims, and the world accepts, then, yes, those things become "Chinese invented or discovered".

If China, not the United States, is the only superpower on earth, China would not just occupy Iraq, set up a democratic government consisted of Iraqis, and then leave, but would shamelessly claim that Iraq was part of China "since ancient times", with "facts" from China's Social Academy. China would establish the "Iraq Autonomous Region" with a pro-Beijing puppet installed. China will then export all the excess flowing population to this new autonomous region as the "experts, technicians, and engineers" to develop this underdeveloped place. After that, the Chinese claim that without the "support and development of the central government in Beijing", the Iraqis would be living in Stone Ages. That is at least what they officially told the Uyghurs, Tibetans, Mongols, and Manchues after occupying their motherlands, which were not part of China.

The West should be wary of China's long-term and ill intentions toward her neighbors and the occupied territories. China will not become a responsible power as long as CCP rules the country by brainwashing the Chinese people with such nationalistic and expansionist fairytales. Therefore, it is a big mistake for the European Union to lift arms embargo imposed on China. Today's Chinese leaders may not wear Mao-uniforms but wear Western suits and may not chant empty slogans but speak the language of international diplomacy, nevertheless they are the same devil in a different color.

Yolvas.
