German Chancellor Angela Merkel's historical China map flap

[xunzi]

Well to br honest china is not seen as a military power here in europe. Our viewpoint is more centered on economy.

If that is the case, why your media constantly paint China as a rising military power and threat? LOL. Likewise, the only military powers we respect are USA and Russia.

In the next ten years, China's military will be more powerful than the entire European Union put together. Even today, China is more powerful than both the sum of both the countries he tries to represent. Each corps in the PLA or IA can overwhelm his country's military. Forget that kid - if presented with facts, he will simply boast about how much money he has.

EU powers don't respect our military power but the UK sure scare the living shit out of them when we threaten to take back HK by force during the negotiation with Margaret Thatcher. LOL.

During talks with Thatcher, China planned to invade and seize Hong Kong if the negotiations set off unrest in the colony. Thatcher later said that Deng told her bluntly that China could easily take Hong Kong by force, stating that "I could walk in and take the whole lot this afternoon". Thatcher replied that "there is nothing I could do to stop you, but the eyes of the world would now know what China is like"

This dumbass Italian is saying our ancestor never won a war but little do he knows, our Huaxia ancestors start off very small and expand in time. This map should teach this little Roman's descendant kid some history of our vast empire. This is how we roll, man. LOL.

Kid - would you like to compare the thousands of tanks that China has against the hundreds that Germany has for a start?

Or the fact that China is popping out AESA destroyers like candy while Germany does not even have a single destroyer - it only has 3 AESA frigates that are no match for the Type-052D that is currently in mass production.

Germany can produce unlimited numbers of tanks, ships, aircrafts and missiles...even nukes, if they want to.

Don´t underestimate them. Check their strengths in the WW I, II, and during the cold war. German soldiers were most feared by their enemies.

Germany, England, France, Japan and America are recognised great military powers. and in this context, Vietnam, too as we won wars against America, France and China.

China still has to prove that it is a great military power. It can do by defeating one of the great military powers, I name above.

 

[jandk]

The German can not be allowed to get too arrogant. We know the consequences of that in WW2. Germans were spared genocide which one could say they almost had it coming. Now they are resorting to their old ways. A lesson to be learned for the future.

China can crush all the countries you named bar the US.

 

[xunzi]

No you can´t. Because your corrupt elite, which sucks you out like a paarsite sends their money to italy and buys italian luxus brands from your money. I love chinese elite. They hold you down and spend their money here. They drive ferrari...nor Brilliance ha ha

I'm getting tired of you BSing. We are on a different level than you, my friend.

Let's not stereotype the whole country just because of one loser on PDF.

We thought the world at that time had a lot for us to learn. Instead, we find we are at the top and therefore, no need to learn and self-impose isolation.

When did we ever cried for help with the Wa pirate? Who help us? What are you smoking? Be honest, would you admit we did a great job civilized you Vietnamese or not?

Actually the Ming Dynasty was the biggest power in East South Asia and keep doing business with its neighbors before the Spanish and Portuguese came and conquered some of the East South countries.

exactly...China thought it had reached the top of the world, there was nothing, no need to learn from the foreigners. In some extents, that was true. The Ming dynasty was one of the greatest periods of Chinese history. China high-sea fleet was scrapped, residents of coastal cities were relocated to inner areas, foreign trades were forbidden. the self imposed isolation, later continued with the Qing, brought China nothing, but the root of the century of humiliation.

China failed to catch up with the modernization, completely missed the industrialization age.

as for Vietnam, sure, that is your credit. Vietnam was civilized. But very curious, Chinese are against it when Vietnam stepped out of the border to bring peace and stability in the neighborhood, and civilized the barbarians.

No, Ming China was defeated by Dai Viet thanks to better fire arms and troops. the role is: Dai Viet had been a great military power in SE Asia, while the Ming in East Asia.

Mongolian, Manchus and Japanese civilized chinese in same way.

I mean the power of trade and related business, not military power.

Sigh, this nonsense again.

(Inner) Mongolian and Manchurian are Chinese, besides Mongolian and Manchurian had to adopt Han's culture in order to maintain and run the Chinese Empire. The Yuan rulers even claimed the heir of the old Chinese dynasties.
