    Had a world history textbook whose opening sentences are ingrained in my brain.

    "The Chinese Civilization emerged on the banks of the Yangzhi River in 3000 BC. In 1840 AD, the British arrived."

      5000 years of wars, rebellions, famines, invasions, and plagues and there's still nothing as catastrophic in Chinese history as the Anglo showing up.

    it would look really bad on the western imperial powers if they actually did teach what goes on over there

    western msm is quiet about all the liberation movements going on right now, possibly hoping people ignore it.
