RE: An Unruly Pupil - The Commander's Concubine: Chapter 2

snicker From his chart, and his apparent belief that it is somehow relevant to the discussion at hand, I'm guessing he thinks we were talking about the U.S.
Here's a clue, lennstar. Look at the name: "Centralia," Latin for "Central Land."
Now look at how it would be rendered in Chinese: "Zhong Guo."
Now look at the Chinese name for China: "Zhong Guo."
Now look at the history the character describes. Now open a search engine and type "Sinocentric Tributary system."
And if you still haven't taken a hint, look up the origins of the English word "Kowtow," and then re-read her chapter again with special emphasis on the speech by the character of Matron.

And if, after all that, you're still busy trying to parrot the delusion that the U.S. is "the world's colonizer," a propaganda point put forth by the Chinese-owned Western Media, then take a look at my blog and get yourself something resembling actual information on current events. I'll guarantee you'll find it a great deal more informative (and more likely to shred notions like the one you're parroting in this chart) than a middle-aged woman's erotica.

Oh, no, I didn't want to say that Centralia is the US. Sorry, it was misleading.

I know fairly well the kowtow, center of the world (中国 - the first Kanji is "center/middle" after all), tribute trade etc. stuff.

The chart is just something that puts up the whole Empire thing very nicely. It also applies to history, and today to Russia and China.

Of course there are differences: Russia puts more emphasis on direct political influence then the US and China uses the economic route more.

But if you think that "America as Colonizer" or "Empire" is Chinese stuff, then you are not up to history. The term itself is older then when anyone in the US considered China as important (except for tea). It mostly is used for the post WWII area though.

But - again - the chart nicely shows a lot of the countries the world record holder in toppling democratically elected governments has influenced to do their bidding.

Since I stumbled upon it, from a German satire show (that is more investigative then most investigative shows)

Here you can see the "Chinese Propaganda" at the example of the Middle East, and if you wish to dig further, you can find all the details in the CIA docments.
Of course only if you don't believe that the Chinese own the CIA.
