Comparing Nazi Germany and the PRC in any way is certainly an interesting choice, considering they're the one major power in the world that actually doesn't have a recent history of invading sovereign nations.

Yeah they do. Even right now they're trying to take territory from the Philippines.

China just has a history of denying what they're doing as they're doing it.

There are so many examples online. My favourite is of a Chinese warship ramming into its own coast guard vessel as they fail to intimidate the Philippines Coast Guard.

Come again? Tibet was absolutely a sovereign nation. I guess it depends what you mean by "recent", but the colonization is still underway, daily.

'Tibet was absolutely a sovereign nation. I guess it depends what you mean by "recent"'

The rest of the world notes from afar that Hawaii became a US state in 1959, whilst Tibet entered the PRC way back in 1951.

In 1993, the US congress apologised for this - they didn't give it back :)

This is a lie. China has an ongoing invasion of Bhutan.

China built a road and villages and military outposts in Bhutan, over China-Bhutan border.

does the Sino-Vietnamese War not count as recent?
