German Chancellor Angela Merkel's historical China map flap

[sincity]

Just like gang war fighting to control drug smuggling territory, nation need military muscle to stage out their claim of the territory. Bigger gun usually end up with the territory.

That is the 18 Han provinces，including Taiwan，shown on the map。

What's the problem？What's the big deal？

K do you have any Map on 17th Century??? What if China was small and in 18th Century Chinese were capturing other lands and later draw a map???

@BoQ77 If we discuss a history map of China Han dynasty, the North Vietnam belong to Han China, Right ?

where is so called 9 dooshed lines... hahaha threatening small countries is china habbit.. trying to steal others territories by some stupid maps...

So India didn't try to steal some China land back in 1962? I guess China was inside Indian land when Nehru launched his Forward Policy.

Is this considered the same incident in US a long time ago where the China flag was hung upside down?

It's all over the media in Germany that Merkel wants to pull China to her side to counter Russia. She is the traitor of the European cause by siding with the US that wants to weaken the EU. It was the US that said "**** the EU" and creates all the mess at the doorstep of the EU.

Since we are just going by Western maps maybe India should go back to being a British colony or Mongol country or Muslim country, or whatever else that preceded these.

China intimidating small countries, intimidating India is certainly fun, but it's more fun with Philippines, at least we get to see them dance around a little bit. Good amusement all in all.

And we don't steal, we take, 2.3 million PLA is there to justify anything we do, much like the Americans. Even if we do give all those islands to the Philippines, can the Philippines stop our fisher man? Our navy? Our coast guard? Our anything?

Just like even if we do give land to India, you can't stop us, especially since you don't even have roads to get there from your side. Your soldiers are very much cut off, modern warfare is all about speed and surprise, but it's good that India decided trapped in one place with little to no possibility of movement is a win.

This is laughable. Its a historic map and a nice gift. I did not know some are so retarded and read so deep into it.

Modern boundaries were form during the formation of the UN. Territorial integrity established at that time where everyone could respect and agreed upon. This is a fact and was a major principle of the UN international law. The 18th century map has no basis to debunk our claim. The South China Sea territorial claims exist and broaden in the 20th century. Coincidentally, it was during the formation of the UN.

LOL, did you read what he babbled? He indirectly claimed India is a small country too. Probably the size of Taiwan. Not forgetting most of all its smaller neighbors hates India.

i find it amusing that all asian countries hate each other and could never develop something like NATO or EU. Guess thats the reason why we rule the world and play our cards better.
