真諷刺，原來北京的文物保存得其實很好，最大的破壞反而來自並非­外國入侵的文革時期。

滿州 - controlled by Han Chinese now

蒙古 - half controlled by Chinese

突厥 - extincted already

朝鮮 - broke into two nations

日本 - undergone serious economic downturn

WOW.... ALTAI PEOPLE IS GREAT!!!!!

@eddielung31:

国共之争，已是上一代的事情了。 不要一直记着恨。

怨怨相报何时了啊... 只是政见不同，都是中华儿女。

本时同根生，相煎何太急？

@phoenixjade1955 We were fighting against communists, who were burning their own free people alive, chopping their arms off, torturing them, etc. It didn't have anything to do with color. It had to do with the cruelty of the communists.

We offered self-determination, civility, and respect. We tendered prosperity to win friends.

Creepy racists, like you, stubbornly refused all civility. Your murderous ways were more attractive to you.

I was there, and saw it all.

@bensontam because China or Chinese is able to merge/mix with any kind of ethnic group and its culture

[Commiton]

One day, when capitalism and nationalism have given way to global humanity uniting socialism. We will see all humanities different cultures as we see the eyes of the peacocks tail. All beautiful facets of the same unity. Gung Ho! [Work Together!} China has taken the torch from fallen Comrade Russia, and is leading to this goal through the darkness of capitalist greed and cruelty.

@hantaehieu1 At least the Chinese did not drop tons, and tons of bomb on Vietnam like the US and other so called civilised white nations! If Ruan designed the Forbidden City, then credit must go to him. You may want to write to the authority in charge of the Forbidden City to highlight this interesting fact.

@pdruiz2005 interesting comment.haha. We hear so much about Marco Polo. But do many people know a great adventurer who lived under han Wu Ti period. He travelled very, very far north of China and if I am right, it was the beginning of the Silk Road.
