When it comes to nationalist/sovereignty issues, the Chinese leadership has, until recently, been divided over them. On balance, Beijing had tended towards soft diplomacy. But it has become increasingly harder to rationalise Chinese intentions in the past year, as they have become very noticeably hawkish with regard to control of the South China Sea. With economic and military clout comes an ever bigger ego, ever greater arrogance. Chinese claims now border on the ludicrous — it's just that, diplomatically, nobody dares to tell off Beijing straight in the face. Too much monetary and economic costs are involved now. Beijing knows this and is using it to its advantage. |

Though it is beyond me how did they get to be so greedy and hellbent on world domination, like it is their right to be.

Usually I can't be bothered with these kind of people, but those supremacist Chinese who think that China is superior because they are rich, rising and powerful......somehow viewing them as dogs who think it is right to eat their own breed seems to be more apt.

Do you even think they honestly care two shits about people generations removed from them? Sinocentrism deriving from the exploits of an eunch hundreds of years dead is a joke. Quote:

Mind you, I have heard that things along those lines a few times while taking public transport, before I own an MP3 player. It amazes me how they can speak ill of the locals in a foreign land by piggybacking on their motherland's rise. Quote:

When someone is called a "nationalist" in the news,it usually means something far more extreme than simply being fond of your country.
