The annexation of the Republic of Texas in 1845 led directly to the Mexican–American War, after which the victorious United States obtained the northern half of Mexico's territory, including what was quickly made the state of California.
Should US return Californoa to Mexico?
The country's expansion beyond North America began in 1856 with the passage of the Guano Islands Act, causing many small and uninhabited, but economically important, islands in the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea to be claimed.[3] Most of these claims were eventually abandoned due to competing claims from other countries or the guano having been mined out. The Pacific expansion culminated in the annexation of Hawaii in 1898, after the overthrow of its government five years previously. Alaska, the last major acquisition in North America, was purchased from Russia in 1867.
Support for the independence of Cuba from the Spanish Empire, and the sinking of the USS Maine, led to the Spanish–American War in 1898, in which the United States gained Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines, and occupied Cuba for several years. American Samoa was acquired by the United States in 1900 after the end of the Second Samoan Civil War.[4] The United States purchased the U.S. Virgin Islands from Denmark in 1917.[5] Guam and Puerto Rico remain territories; the Philippines became independent in 1946

Not going to argue with you as most facts are available on internet nowadays. Twisted minds tend to come up with twisted logic, ignoring all factual events free willingly.
Historically the only time a power in China invaded other territories were in the Yuan Dynanty, The Moguls. The ancestor of the present Mongolian ( not the Han ). All these places you mentioned, Xinjiang, Taiwan, Tibet were all peripheral territories that flip in and out as territories of China through historical time. It was mostly uninhabitable landmass that lacks basic requirement like water supply and fertile soil for cultivation. Life is harsh and the few residents still need to put up with hordes of invaders that kill and rob. It was the Qing Dynasty (AD 1644 – 1912) military that accorded the protection required and these were officially sanctioned as the Dynasty territory. Xinjiang were already part of China in the Han Dynasty (206 BC – AD 220), just for your information, outposts that were built still there till today.
Japan attacked and occupied Manchuria in 1931, waged a full fledge war with China from 1937, 4 years before USA joined the fray in 1941.
"In 1935 the Chinese government put out a map titled "Map of Chinese Islands in the South China Sea" this map had eleven dashes on it. In 1949 the Chinese government dropped their claim of the Gulf of Tonkin and the now infamous nine-dash line was created. "
After WW2 in 1945, this claim was recognized by the western powers, especially UK and USA, and all other contesting countries now, unfortunately, were just various colonialist territories that do not have any interest in it at the time.
Atlas printed and used in schools in Malaysia during the 1970s even has clear print out who owns these islands in the South China Sea.
After WW2, 1945, Japan was also forced to return Taiwan which they colonized since 1895, to the Nationalist China at the time. In another word, it tells you who own the Taiwan Island. Thereafter, the Nationalist Government of China lost in internal power struggle to the Communist Regime and fled to the Taiwan Island in 1949. It was the anti communism sentiment of the time that the nine dash line and Taiwan becomes a dispute when the western government refuses till today to recognize the claim that they once agreed upon.
From 1949 till 1972, USA sanctioned China by imposing embargoes on everything China.
As far as Vietnam is concern, the relationship with China is a complex one. You can google it yourself. If China wanted to occupy it, the Communist China would have conquered it in the 1979-1990 conflict.
The above are all verifiable facts. So, who is twisting facts for own convenience ?
after thousands of years of experiments, China is now in the position to fully benefit from its long history.... in administration and in selecting national leaders.
now Biden has a last chance to Co operate with China to bring down inflation in US....... can he do it? will he do it? answer to both questions is very doubtful
if any citizen of any SEA nation prefer to side with China against their own SEA nation of current domicile on SCS issue, then they should start seriously considering giving up their current citizenship
”Patriotism is when love of your own people/citizen comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.” ― Charles de Gaulle
“We have not eternal allies and we have not perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and peretual and those interests it is out duty to follow.” ― Lord Palmerston, British Prime Minister
We are Patriotic Malaysians unlike those racial bigots. We should conduct our foreign affairs policy to safeguard the interests of the nation and its citizens. (Trade and defense)
Let’s face reality with an open minded, “no man is an island” human being do badly when isolated from others and need to be part of a diverse community in order to thrive. If you are so close minded with you preconceived idea that “China communist government is evil, the most brutal and most inhumane form of governance” you are reacting to your own personal perspective view, arrogant/ignorance and not an objective statement based on facts and observations. If you are open minded, you would look at situation from all angles with respect and study your friends and foes history background, philosophy, behavior and belief system in order to understand them and response calmly with objective and unbiased view. That is how we should conduct our foreign policy with tact and diplomacy (being persuasive and assertive at the same time show understanding of other people and being sensitive to their opinions, beliefs, ideas and feelings) for peace to prevail and for mutual good and benefit.
The answer is always USA nowadays. These few weeks maybe change tone a bit -> Taiwanese.
You guys are not tired about what your family is reading everyday? Those anti-USA (now anti-Taiwanese especially Tsai) and Pro-Chihna postings in social media everyday are very interesting? I think they are overpowered. The hatred towards USA is so great until maybe it is even surprising to those who drafted the postings.
I am not Pro either side. People hate me for not taking side. I just want peace and absolute truth. I know this is evil. I am the worse to many people. I don't deserve to step on earth and breathe the air for not hating USA.
Communism is a proven failed economy system and undeniably China was once a failed state with Mao’s extreme left-wing communism experimentation that starved millions of its people to death. Communism stripped people of human dignity and moral value in self determination and free will in working hard in achieving Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.
Today China is everything except communism, thanks to Deng’s open economy policy that emphasis on result rather than dogma or doctrine. China has gone a long way to becoming a market – capitalist – economy with a nominally Communist government. It has opened up to foreign investment (much more than, say, India). Its firms compete internationally and invest overseas. Some Chinese entrepreneurs like Jack Ma have global recognition. Day to day economic life operates through markets and farmers have greater ownership rights. There is a sophisticated stock exchange and capital markets with large and highly efficient and competitive State enterprises dominate banking, power, energy, and telecoms, major genuinely private companies (like Huawei, Lenovo, Ali Baba, Tencent and etc) and flourishing small to medium sized private companies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_Chinese_companies
According to the American business magazines Fortune and Forbes, in 2019 Fortune's Global 500 list of the world's largest corporations included 119 Chinese companies, with combined revenues of US$ 8.2 trillion.
China had endured century of humiliation (1849-1949) with unequal treaty forced upon China by foreign power. (Empire of Japan, Russian Empire, British Empire, United State, French Colonial Empire, German Empire, Kingdom of Italy, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Kingdom of Belgium, Kingdom of Spain, Kingdom of Netherlands). China is now an awakening new emerging economic and military super-power. Whether we like it or not, we need to live with this new reality and put our best interest forward by studying and understanding China in order to forge strategic alliance on the back of a Prosper-Thy-Neighbor policy that promotes the concept of shared security and prosperity based on mutual respect, for mutual gain.
Both US demoracy, liberalism or China commnist also fail to produce balanced fair social gap. social gap btn the elite rich, powerful become wider vs the poor class. to cover up the shortcoming, both US and CCP must WAYANG to be enemy ma. to avoid backlash from poor class...same as our nation's MCO 3.0, big boss can resume business. small fish's all curi curi do business like pencuri ma.... wakaka
Our nations GLC very similar to CCP state enterprises dominate banking, power, energy, and telecoms, etc. which create unfair monopoly in strategic business. this must be abolished
In China the state own companies already have 300,000. In Malaysia GLC linked company far fewer but create a lot of problem which ccp fans complaint a lot.
