Nah, those days are over, for a decade or so already. Swiss bank accounts are now just as open as any other countries. Switzerland is just a US dog.

Point being that Switzerland actually does not give a shit about such things. Famously it kept most of the gold the nazis stashed there.
A peaceful conclusion is certainly preferable.
only for all the liberals to then cry and blame Trump for setting a bad precedence.
Liberals are unable to do this. The creation of Kosov and the preceeding illegal bombing campaign on Jugoslawia set the precedent for Russias actions in Ukraine. Libs are mighty silent about this fact.
The US already did a massive genocide - 99%+ of the native population. It also worked another population to death for decades - Chattel slavery Another genocide was commited on the Philipines after ignoring their declaration of independence and invading - a third of the population was killed.
But you’re right, as long as its not white people who are suffering first worlders don’t care.
That one was honestly hilarious. Kashoggi was a total swamp monster, but he ended up with the wrong faction in the power struggle in Sa so he got butchered. Karma.

I mean, its historically described Soviet policy in Eastern Europe and Chinese domestic policing (Khrushchev putting down the Hungarian fascist revolt with armored infantry and Deng sending tanks into Tienanmen Square).
Only the first one.

91·9 days agoThe situation is quite different, China has every right to do so. Because every country has the right to conclude its civil war. Such a civil war is still ongoing between the PRC (Peoples Republic of China - “China”) and RoC(Republic of China - “Taiwan”), both claim to be the legitimate government of the entity China. The reason the PLA did not finish the job in the 40s was US intervention and the start of the korean war.
This is a completely internal matter for China according to international law.

Ukraine government - the same who sold the Ghost of Kiev, Russia collecting Ukrainian children like Pokemon, the Martyrs of Snake Island, the secessionists shelling themselves, Russia shelling itself, russian troops shelling themselves, russian timetravel technology deployed in Bucha and much more.

Plenty of anarchists joined the Bolsheviks, somehow those are never mentioned.
The CPC has over nine million members
95 million members actually, and around 110 mllion in its youth wing. So about one in seven chinese.
Notice the flags? This is not about imperial China, it is about the PRC.
Or are you one of the weirdos who also thinks Russian Empire = USSR = Russian Federation?
Overall it was a shitshow. Vietnam also ethnically cleansed its chinese minority and there was fighting at t he border because it was pretty much indefined. Furthermore, Vietnam ahd close ties to the USSR, with which China had recently broken. Thus China saw itself between the allied stated of Vietnam and USSR.
Fittingly the resulting border war also was a total shitshow. A few PLA divisions pushing into Vietnam, without artillery or air support. Vietnam defended with local militias as its army was in Cambodia. China occupied some border cities, but took severe losses, then it went home. The vietnamese militias were excellent fighters but lacked heavy arms, so all they could do is delay the chinese (which they did admirably). Both sides claimed victory and the relations between the two countries were in the gutter until a few years ago.
You first point is such a vapid one. China is a multi cultural state, lots of different cultures and languages. The governemnt of the region back then clearly did not consider it important enough, because they were fine with joining China.
The claims in the South China Sea overlap. Some islands are claimed by Brunai, Malasia and the Philipines, others are claimed by the PRC and the Philipines.
The military bases are less because of claims but because the US is sending its warships through this area all the time in a “nice trade routes you have here, would be sad if someone did something about them…”-move.
Tibet was a part of China, it was essentially a warlord territory. With the warlord being the Dalai Lhama. It did not consider itself “other nation”, which is obvious from the fact that its regime did agree to join the PRC. Both sides came to an accord regarding the conditions, most importantly Tibet had to abolish slavery within a agreed uppon timeframe. The Lhama regime did not do so, thus peaceful unification was off the table and the PLA did the unifying.
Sticking to the classics.
