becuase they act good and neutral but it's all just a trick to get your guard down. give them an inch, they take a mile

i don't think they always had 1 billion people

It's safe to assume they always had more people than Japan

~500 million in 1940

not 1 billion, but they've always had a ridiculously high population compared to the rest of the world, and they've always been shit at war

It's a bit funny actually, how they've been so incredibly bad at war, and yet still managed to have their culture dominate all of East Asia and even Southeast Asia.

still had more than 5x the amount of people the Japanese ever had throughout its history and at a time when numbers mattered more than ever.

your fault for trusting them

For almost 1000 years, China was invaded and subdued by Mongols, Khitans, Jurchens, Turkmens, and Manchus.

About 300,000 Mongols managed to kill nearly half the Chinese population (some 30 million people) and rule over China for a century.

Some decades before the Mongol conquest, the Jurchens conquered the northern half of China, took the Sung court as prisoners, and forced the empress to work in a brothel.

During the early Ming Dynasty, the eunuch Zheng Ho, a Turkic/Arab mix born into a Muslim family, built enormous ships and engaged in huge tribute collecting voyages across the Indian Ocean.

The Manchu conquered China during the early 17th century and killed one quarter of the entire population. They then forced all Chinese men to wear Manchu pigtail haircuts and robes.

During the 18th century, the introduction by Europeans of new crops such as the peanut and sweet potato allowed a major population increase in China.

Starting with the 1842 Opium War, China began the "century of national humiliation" in which it was very nearly partitioned by the European powers. Britain managed to flood the country with opium, creating millions of addicts.

In 1894-95, China lost a war with Japan which demonstrated the extreme ineffectiveness of the Qing army, plagued by enormous corruption and opium use among the enlisted men.

In the 1900 Boxer Rebellion, a multinational force captured Beijing with just 30 casualties. German emperor Wilhelm II boasted that "No Chinaman would dare to look at a German cross-eyed."

After the Qing dynasty was overthrown in 1911, China entered several decades of anarchy and civil war.

In the 1930s, Japan invaded China and committed a terrible orgy of looting, destruction, and atrocities.

During World War II, Chinese forces did little to repel the invader--the Kuomintang were happy to take US and British money most of which went to line the pockets of Chiang Kai-shek and his friends. The communists meanwhile did little other than hide in caves or collaborate with the Japanese, who were never outright defeated on the battlefield and only withdrew after Japan surrendered to the Allies in August 1945.

During the Korean War, the Chinese People's Volunteers managed to surprise attack the UN army and drive them back below the 38th parallel. Once the UN troops rallied, they pushed the CPV to the 38th parallel. UN casualties in the war were about 130,000 versus over a million Chinese.

In 1979, China engaged in a three week long border war with Vietnam, in which the PLA lost 20,000 men to Vietnamese border guards and militia. Today, most of the PLA's equipment are second-rate knockoffs of Soviet weapon systems from the 1980s and corruption in the officer corps is immense.

The biggest question is how the fuck did the Manchus allow their language and their culture to go decline so much while allowing Mandarin and Han culture to prosper? They had tons of time to stamp out Mandarin and Han culture, but instead now it's them who are humiliated, rendering their earlier conquests essentially useless. Talk about having no fucking foresight.

Funny how Chinese modern military is also shit despite them being the 2nd biggest investor.

chinese is synonymous of weak humans

China got it's shit together in the last 30 years faster than anyone has ever seen. The China of then is completely different to the China there is now.

...

Thank you based Deng

>Planes look like other planes
duh

That's kinda wrong. First of all, Mandarin is heavily influenced by the Manchu language. Hanfu (actual Chinese clothing) became extinct while Manchu clothing became the norm throughout China. And Chinese hairstyles were forbidden and everyone had to wear Manchu pigtails or get killed by law.

Language
Clothing
Hairstyle

Those are like 3 of the most prominent things when it comes to culture.

You're welcome :D

>hairstyle
>most prominent things when it comes to culture
???

And the Manchu hairstyle ended up going away, so your point is moot.

And who cares about some influence? My point is that, if Manchus were't total cucks, they would have actually kept their language alive and strong while they were in power. Basically, they conquered the Chinese, and yet it was all for essentially nothing seeing as the Manchus today are pretty much the exact same thing as Chinese nowadays. The only thing they managed to "accomplish" with their conquest was change the clothing style. Big fucking whoop.

The hairstyle was fucking important back then. Entire regions in China rebelled against the Manchus because of the Manchu queue decree. The traditional Chinese hairstyle was directly linked with Confucianism and honoring your parents. Forcing the Chinese to chop off half their hair was forcing them to abandon a thousands-year-old tradition.

>And the Manchu hairstyle ended up going away, so your point is moot.
That's some pure retarded logic. Everything goes away eventually, ya dipshit.

>Everything goes away eventually, ya dipshit.
Not that fucking quickly

Again, the fact that the Manchus lost their language is simply pathetic.

It didn't go away though. It left its mark on Mandarin, which is the most spoken language in the world.

>It didn't go away though.
it did (or rather, it's about to), it literally has something like 10 speakers left

>it left its mark
which means fucking nothing. A few loanwords doesn't compensate for a language going EXTINCT.
