    Right, take it out on people who have nothing to do with them.

    Conflating the state for people is stupid. The state is never representative of the people anyway. The men she dated didn’t rule any of those areas.

    Shame.

    Wait, apologies if I’m ignorant here but I don’t know much of Asian history and politics here.

    But, if an area is ruled by a country for over a thousand years wouldn’t it be fair to say that area is rightfully theirs instead of an occupied territory? Like, at what point is the line drawn?

    For example if Russia keeps Crimea for 1000 years I think at that point it is truly Russian and taking it back would mean Ukraine becoming the occupying force.

      I think even by that point there was a distinction between being Chinese and being Vietnamese, and it persisted even with the north east being separated for a thousand years
