South China Sea? Granted building a military base in another country's waters isn't technically an attack but ... come on.

Also Tibet. Whether or not it was a legitimate "state" it was definitely an "other nation".

1:Tibet is absolutely not an other nation, having been officially part of China for multiple dynasties before the Revolution.

2: I'm pretty sure the people there are happier with schools, hospitals and running water than as illiterate medieval slave-serfs to a despotic class of torturing, r*pist landlord-priests

  1. Tibet had a different language, culture, government than the Republic of China.

  2. Didn't say Tibet was a good nation, just an "other nation".

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.
