Hey, Haridassa: U stayed in China before? I have stayed in China for many years. I found no racist goon. I found is a good place to stay if compared in America. China is very safe place to stay.
China is like a family with strict parents, everything need to follow the rules and respect the leader, a very discipline country. Is a Confucius method of managing the country, not like Europe and USA, demonstrate when government asked them to wear a mask, no respect to the government. What kind of country is that?
I will feel safe when walking on the street in China. No worry about pickpocket and also robbed by someone. I have a bad experience in France, my money was stolen by pickpocket. If someone come to approach u, u better keep away. More worse in Brazil, not dare to walk along on the street a night. Nowadays my cousins in USA always bring something to protect themselves when going out.
It is not true that PRC is not a waring country. It invaded Tibet, Xinjiang after it came to power in around 1945..Now it has set its eyes on other country and have created border issues with Bhutan, Nepal, India , Japan , Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines. There were news that it was even eyeing Vlaldivostok (spell) in Russia..claiming it was its territory..Much of today's problems could be linked ..covid, tensions in the SCS etc..that has forced country to spend more on arms ..that use it to deal with the pandemic..It now feels that it an ow take on the world with the progress it has achieved

Not going to argue with you as most facts are available on internet nowadays. Twisted minds tend to come up with twisted logic, ignoring all factual events free willingly.
Historically the only time a power in China invaded other territories were in the Yuan Dynanty, The Moguls. The ancestor of the present Mongolian ( not the Han ). All these places you mentioned, Xinjiang, Taiwan, Tibet were all peripheral territories that flip in and out as territories of China through historical time. It was mostly uninhabitable landmass that lacks basic requirement like water supply and fertile soil for cultivation. Life is harsh and the few residents still need to put up with hordes of invaders that kill and rob. It was the Qing Dynasty (AD 1644 – 1912) military that accorded the protection required and these were officially sanctioned as the Dynasty territory. Xinjiang were already part of China in the Han Dynasty (206 BC – AD 220), just for your information, outposts that were built still there till today.
Japan attacked and occupied Manchuria in 1931, waged a full fledge war with China from 1937, 4 years before USA joined the fray in 1941.
"In 1935 the Chinese government put out a map titled "Map of Chinese Islands in the South China Sea" this map had eleven dashes on it. In 1949 the Chinese government dropped their claim of the Gulf of Tonkin and the now infamous nine-dash line was created. "
After WW2 in 1945, this claim was recognized by the western powers, especially UK and USA, and all other contesting countries now, unfortunately, were just various colonialist territories that do not have any interest in it at the time.
Atlas printed and used in schools in Malaysia during the 1970s even has clear print out who owns these islands in the South China Sea.
After WW2, 1945, Japan was also forced to return Taiwan which they colonized since 1895, to the Nationalist China at the time. In another word, it tells you who own the Taiwan Island. Thereafter, the Nationalist Government of China lost in internal power struggle to the Communist Regime and fled to the Taiwan Island in 1949. It was the anti communism sentiment of the time that the nine dash line and Taiwan becomes a dispute when the western government refuses till today to recognize the claim that they once agreed upon.
From 1949 till 1972, USA sanctioned China by imposing embargoes on everything China.
As far as Vietnam is concern, the relationship with China is a complex one. You can google it yourself. If China wanted to occupy it, the Communist China would have conquered it in the 1979-1990 conflict.
The above are all verifiable facts. So, who is twisting facts for own convenience ?
Combat tactics in a non-democratic country can make a country very strong in a very short period of time. The quick surge will draw in envy and suspicion.
The display of weapons during national day in 2019:
Chinese from China: Our leaders are so powerful. Wow.
CCP: I want to show our people we are capable of defending the nation from any sort of foreign attacks.
USA/Europe/G7: Another Hitler/Saddam Hussein in the making. The parade looked familiar. Alert! Alert!
China is being hated because they were too kind when powerful. As a lesson, China should slap many races around the world to make them kowtow. Example, many British & US former colonies are now respect & scare of them. So, China must produce at least same nuke per capital same with western countries estimated China must make 40,000 nukes and use them for freedom whenever possible
it will be a full life.... with lots of meetings, lots of training, lots of responsibility, lots of patriotic education, and expected to serve the people, to work harder than others
Corruption in China by 2010 is getting from bad to worse.... Now 10.years later, Xi has put corruption under control following the Singapore model to governance. People are very happy.
Not that I blame Hujintao but the focus was different.... I guess the way to look at it is that different stage of economic development needs different approach. Hujintao time China was narrowly focused on economic development and wanting to imitate America in economic matters.
China now can stand tall on its own in terms of economic power & development loh!

China is trying to convince the whites that 国强必霸 is not true. If you are China, how do you convince that your muscle is not for fighting? How do you translate 国强必霸 into English, first of all?
If some of us were commenting on ....20, 15, 10, 5 years ago, you would still have been argueing that there was no corruption in....i guess it is mainly due to false ethnic feelings, not by sincerely looking at the problem..on the issue, i wonder why are so many people rounded up and punished for corruption whenever there is a leadership change in ...?....The latest round of purges happened recently...does this mean there has been corruption all these while ..? A lot of unanswered questions...
