Hong Kong? Taiwan?
China has been acting like shit in Hong Kong, but it was originally Chinese territory. So I wouldn't count that as imperialism.
China's behavior in the South China Sea is a much better example.
Hong Kong, the place leased to Britain (probably unfairly/forcibly given British history) and subsequently returned to China at the end of the lease?
Edit-addendum: Also isn't Taiwan still functionally sovereign? It was just the remnants of China's old government pre-CPC. They've moved closer, voluntarily, to the PRC in recent years, especially with all the recent western aggression in the world in general.
Taiwan? You mean the city where all the landlords fled from Mao's revolution and have been propped up by western imperialists powers ever since?
Literal definition of "no true Scotsman"
'hey maybe an active civil war isn't an example of imperialism'
"HURR DURR NO TRUE SCOTSMANNN"
"active civil war"
LOL stay on your meds, kids
What... what do you think modern Chinese history is? While it's widely regarded as over, no peace treaty was ever signed. And while the KMT dictatorship lost power across the Taiwan islands in 1981, the resulting pseudo-government that formed afterwards also failed to introduce any cessation of hostilities. Hell right up until 1973 the KMT still wanted to invade the mainland again.
This war, like the Korean war, never ended. There was no formal end to either war, simply a continued pause in the hostilities. Worse, for your position, there is no active ceasefire agreement between the PRC and the pseudo-government on the island. The sole reason hostilities stopped in 1965 was because the US dedicated a carrier group to the area (and all the CIA-backed KMT soldiers that sheltered in Burma were finally routed and slowed their terror attacks down to focus on running drugs). At this point the PRC has dedicated itself to a peaceful unification, which has been the PRC's position since 1965 when it was clear the few thousand remaining KMT soldiers could do no harm to mainland Chinese citizens and the need to be ever ready for war was taking far too many resources.
Yes? Yes?
If you think what China does to Muslims is bad you should see what Taiwan was like before China invaded. Seriously look up how they treated their criminals.
That has no bearing on whether their actions were that of an imperialist.
It's wild that you think that China committing genocide is somehow a defense to literally anything.
You sound like people claiming the US invaded Afghanistan to save the women
Whataboutism
