No bully

A lot of superficial and smattering scholars and observers on Chinese affairs in the West like to claim that China has no or very limited territorial ambitions by using shallow and specious arguments such as “the Chinese is traditionally an inward-looking agrarian nation”, “China historically only cared about managing their own things and had invaded few lands not of their own” etc. as a rationale of their fallacious claim, which however can’t justify the historical fact that the Han Chinese that is the political, economic, cultural and demographic core of China only occupied about half of the present Chinese geographic territory in the past and had used deception and brute force to acquire the other half (Manchuria, Tibet, Inner Mongolia, Eastern Turkestan and many Southwestern remote domains all were not Chinese historically, culturally and ethnically but were all conquered and annexed by the majority Han Chinese in the long history). Those western experts also ignored that China is still regularly and adamantly claiming for other peoples’ lands right now such as Okinawa, Russia’s Far East territories, Northern India etc. 24/7 in its official domestic media and school educations. Since most Western people know little about the real China and don’t read Chinese themselves, they tend to swallow the words of the western experts credulously without questioning and thus fail to see the real and hidden intent behind the Chinese strategic agenda.

What? China can't claim Okinawa! How do they even attempt to justify such dyslogism?
