I find it hard to believe that imperial china didnt invade anyone between 598 ad and 1912

[–] REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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?

Notice the war in 598? The one mislabeled as a war of defence? When the Sui dynasty invaded Korea?

Are you one of those weirdos that doesn't bother to look stuff up instead of reposting?

[–] Oppopity@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 days ago

Oh yeah that's dumb. It should be the modern Korean war.

It seems weird to include different time periods for either one. I'd cut out USA stuff prior to PRC existing out so it's more even comparison

It does say PRC in the heading, but you'd be forgiven for missing it.

They fought a lot, they just didn't win much lmao.

yeah, i think this is relying pretty heavily on people's ignorance of china's history to seem even remotely believable. idk why they feel the need to lie anyway, cause china's record in the modern day is still undeniably better than the US's.

Pretty sure the intention was the PRC's history, and used China as a way to let people who don't know what the PRC is. Poor formatting, I agree.

yeah, but of that was the case, they shouldn't have included the invasion if korea in 598, which predates the formation of the PRC by over 1300 years.

Ah, didn't see that, you're right.
