China needs to expand its frontier — or create the illusion of — to create hope of once again booming gains for the younger generation. Territorial expansion will revive creative energies among the youth.
I don’t understand this comment. Do you mean they need to expand into their current unoccupied land, or do they need to claim territory adjacent to them belonging to other countries? Are you referring to Taiwan here?
Not that I agree with the root comment, but China is not that large without Tibet, Xinjiang, Qinghai, and Inner Mongolia. These provinces also have the least population densities - the terrain doesn't support it.
I just can't agree with what you are saying given all the land and resources they already have - sounds like the Chinese version of Nazi Germany's "Lebensraum" to me. But you have a right to an opinion and I hope it doesn't come to that.
It seems like a plausible sentiment for the CCP tho. They seem to be taking their turn as a colonialist. e.g. The "re-education camps", South China sea, tibet, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and even countries like Indonesia where they have captured the government and pro Chinese policies are being rammed through.
