Xinjiang has been part of China since the 1750's (not 1950's), Tibet since 1910- the last 'imperial' expansion of China. Hardly the sort of stuff to make Hitler jealous.Originally Posted by Koojo
The Chinese have been accepting tribute payments from most of the SE Asian countries for centuries. As the western world became more powerful in the last century or so they have been unable to assert their proven title/authority.Originally Posted by Humbert
They have not forgotten and will reestablish sovereignty sooner or later.
A tray full of GOLD is not worth a moment in time.
I had a little chuckle when I heard that ISIS have got a fucking Twitter account...
You don't happen to have a copy of their title to the South China Sea do you?Originally Posted by OhOh

THE CAMBRIDGE HISTORY OF SOUTHEAST ASIA VOLUME ONE
From Early Times to c.1800
edited by NICHOLAS TARLING
There is also a second volume from 1800, both are PDF files on the internet.
Admittedly it is a western view point but they cover all SE Asian countries in depth. Printed in 1992 so history as many "know it" will have changed somewhat.
Something to get absorbed in during the wet season.

I didn't think so.
I am so glad you took the time out to read the two volumes.Originally Posted by Humbert
So world domination is an Islamic, a Chinese, and a Russian ambition. Everything in fact but a Western ambition. yawwnOriginally Posted by ENT
Danish military researcher: Islam’s plan for caliphate includes world domination
Aug 14, 2014
Lars Bangert Struwe, a researcher at the University of Copenhagen’s Centre for Military Studies … says that “the conflict has gone from being political to be religious” … the current conflict will last several years.
Lars Bangert Struwe believes that the international community has hesitated too long.
“I’m not so concerned about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They’ll be able to negotiate at one time or another.
I am far more concerned about Syria and Iraq, where individuals are born who want to fight for a higher political case, that reaches beyond state level, and by all means, including their own death, are ready to make an attempt to change the world.
As I read it, the concept of the Islamic caliphate is that it should cover the whole world, and that it is not just something that concerns the local area,” he says, calling himself a pessimist on the Middle East’s behalf.

The current conflict term is very misleadingOriginally Posted by ENT
I kind of remember that the Christians and Muslims have been at it since the Crusades. I may be wrong though.

I didnt say that there were no other Religions in Syria or Iraq , but they are both predominately Muslims Countries and therefore regarded as Islamic countries .
Have you not been following the news recently ?
If you have nt seen the news for the last few months, I will give you an update .
I.S. are currently fighting in Iraq and Syria to form an Islamic State .
Do you follow ? I.S are currently fighting Syria & Iraq .
The concern by Cameron is that if I.S. are victorious , then in the future, they will use the land as a base to lauch terror attacks against the West .
So, I.S. are currently fighting Iraq and Syria , but in future they may target the West
