Chinese were controlled by Mongolian, Man Chus,Brittain (HK), Japanese, Portugals (MC) until 1999 year.
Today, China is half independence state. Taiwan is under protectorate of USA,

Man Chus are a variation of Chinese. Mongolia only owns the desert part of their original country now, Britain leased HK (not owned) for 100 years b/c China was hooked on opium imported by the British via India, Japan owned the coastal regions of China, but never the entire China. If it weren't for the KMT who engaged the Japs on land in WWII, the Americans would have no chance in landing on Iwoajima, Saipan, Guam, Philippines, midway, and sleuth of others.
Just before U.S. dropped the bomb, Japan sent 1 million troops into China to hold down its territories, leaving its backdoor exposed to the U.S., since its navy was annihilated by the U.S. However, today Japan acknowledges defeat by U.S., but not by its Asian cousins. With this superiority complex over other Asians, Japan will not be respected or envied, but only guarded against by Chinese and Koreans, but that's another story.
