Manchu dynasty died in 1912. So with Beijing’s claim on Tibet and Xinjiang. For a while, they were independent.
Russia can not claim sovereignty on Ukraine after Soviet Union disintegrated. Russia ruled over Ukraine for a long time. Finland was part of Sweden for a long time, too.

And yet, the US printed map I have of China from 1955 looks virtually identical (in terms of boundaries) to the maps of China printed today. Frankly, I’ll sleep better knowing that Beijing controls Xinjiang.

Hi,
I just like to say that this person is lying about me. I’m not a troll and have never demonstrated any such behavior, other than when I was called names or lied about.

I’m a long time conservative who has lurked at FR for a few months. I decided since I was in China to give a few reports and a few opinions. I’ve tried dealing with the name calling on my own without ever hitting the abuse button. I’ve been polite to polite posters, but yes, I have dished it back a few times.

I’m trying to be a good citizen here. A look at ALL of my posts on different topics will show I’m really what I say I am. Thanks.

“Sir, I’ve noticed that you’ve repeatedly removed a number posts that take the new member ‘compound w’ to task over his shamelessly pro-Communist China posting. We’ve been tracking this guy ever since he signed up for his account on June 29, 2008, and he consistently demonstrates ChiCom troll behavior, albeit more cleverly than the usual troll.
He’s pretty much outted himself through a number of statements concerning Tibet, Falun Gong, and forced abortions and sterilizations, among other things. Apparently, he was banned for a time last night but was unbanned this morning.”

Related to your point, compound w is a McCain backer.

I don’t think they’re “Arabs.” More like “Turks.” They are Muslim. Beijing considers them “Chinese.” Not “Han” Chinese, but I think an “official minority group.” Others might add some details to this.

I don’t think being a McCain backer is a crime around here.

Let’s just hope that this “teaching” is not at the expense of the Olympic Athletes.

Much prefer to have Al Quada terrorists to be flame broiled.

Wonder if this “Canadian” who butchered and decapitated a young man on a Greyhound bus was one of their finer Muslims....

That’s a good question Judy.

I’ll look on the internet tonight to see if there are more details about the beheading suspect and his motivation.
