Somebody made fun of me about robots. See the following link.

Korea, Japan and China will mass produce these robots for military purposes. Japan and Korea will have nasty robots with many capabilities.

Ten years. Then, we will see robots in the battlefield.

If you were to look at how Chinese map developed over a period of time and how America as a Country developed, killing off Injins one at a time, they both would look very familiar.

Would Tibet be considered part of China now? You wouldn’t find a single Chinaman who would ever argue that Tibet was ever an Independent State, let alone a Country.

I personally don’t mind bunch of white settlers killing off Indians as long as they keep few of them around and have them build casinos and feel guilty about all the Indians they have killed over the years, but, I’m not too sure if the Chinese ever feel guilty about killing off their ethnic minorities, not that they ever had enough to feed their own to begin with.

Bluejives, Thanks fot the cool map. I was especially interested to see the Lolang Commanderies included - don’t (domestic) Korean scholars fight against their existence as autonomous Chinese entities with tooth and nail?

“…are the vietnamese also chinese?”

Pawirogi, they were, back when their territory covered a fair chunk of southern China and what is today Hanoi was in the deep southern part. Modern Vietnam covers what was Champa (Danang down to Saigon) and a chunk of territory taken from Cambodia (the Mekong Delta), while a fair chunk of what was the Dai Viet two thousand years ago now lies across the border. But, understand that it is a thousand miles by road from the Chinese border down to Saigon. Korea’s smaller size and peninsular character makes it an easier to define. My impressison is that the Chinese have always recognized Korea as a separate nation, even when it was in a vassal status. Vietnam’ troubles with China would arise every few dynasties when some emperor remembered that Vietnam had been a part of their empire.

The animated map is great. I think that should be posted at Jacky’s site, definitely.

. . . Just because a shopkeeper has to pay protection money monthly to a mobster, doesn’t mean he doesn’t own the shop.

True enough. I just wonder how much protection money Korea will pay to China today, at the current exchange rate and if they can handle a wire transfer.

Well, it’s not China, but S. Korea IS paying protection money to another country. Who says history doesn’t repeat itself?
