EU and India are poised to sign the "Mother of all Deals".

The big one seems to be an FTA deal between EU and India. So EU now has no problem with India buying Russian oil? Is India pivoting to the EU over Russia? Is the EU gonna open it's doors to more Indian immigration?

These EU unelected cucks like VDL and Kallas have spent a career pushing Russian and China away. So when Trump pushes them away, they turn to the Supapowar. And they still wanna recruit India to confront China and Russia. Brilliant.

On paper, it sounds big, but the EU is not the same as it's individual member states. It's a fragmented, and increasingly impotent bloc. India have yet again chosen to embrace the developed nations of the West instead of getting closer with the Global South.

Off course VDL and the Eurocucks are invited to watch the military might of Supapowar India on Republic Day

For someone who seems to like to "gate keep" who is Chinese and who is not, you don't seem to know your Chinese history very well.

Just to take the example of Chu. Archeology has already shown that the early Chu state was nearly identical to the Zhou in culture (indicating they were an off shoot of the Zhou, or an out right Zhou colony), but "barbarized" over time as they conquered more territories of peoples who were not Zhou. This insight is reinforced by the fact that the earlier you go in Chinese history records, the more Chu is regarded as Chinese - a careful reading of Zuo Zhuan indicates that Chu was never associated with the Manyi (ie "barbarians") in Zuo Zhuan, but that later, Warring States period texts did treat Chu as barbarian because its kings began to claim themselves as barbarians in order to reject Zhou rule and assert their own independence.

In other words, it's not that Chu started off as barbarian state, but became accepted by the other Zhou states once they swore fealty to the Zhou and adopted Zhou rites. But that they chose to reject their originally Zhou/Huaxia lineage, both in order to better rule their "barbarian" subjects, and because they wanted to make out right play for cultural and political independence from the Zhou kings as the latter's authority faded during the Eastern Zhou.

It was only towards the end of the Warring States that, again for political convenience, Chu re-asserted its "Huaxia" identity because - surprise surprise - it became an asset as Chu sought to assert hegemony over the Central Plains states as its territories encroached upon their borders. Even so, many in the Central Plains states distrusted Chu - there was never this universal belief, as you seem to assert, that Chu became Chinese as soon as they paid homage to the Zhou kings.

Or as Yuri Pines put it in his highly cited 2018 re-analysis of Chu identity:

"The new understanding, summarized by Xu Shaohua in the seminal volume by Constance A. Cook and John S. Major is that “there is little archeological evidence of a distinctive Chu culture during the Western Zhou times.” It was only from the Springs-and-Autumns period on that a divergent cultural pattern associated with Chu began emerging, and even then Chu’s elite culture remained strongly conformant with the Zhou ritual practices. This suggests an entirely different cultural trajectory: Chu was not a “barbarian entity” attracted by the glory of the Zhou culture as hinted in the Mengzi, but a normative Zhou polity that developed cultural assertiveness in tandem with the increase in its political power."

Such a basic lack of nuance on the understanding of Chinese history indicates you're really talking more in stereotypes and generalizations than deep recognition of what went on. There's no shortage of historical states and dynasties that manipulated the optics of identity for political gain - leaning towards "barbarian" when it was beneficial to do so; and leaning towards "Chinese" when it was beneficial to do so.

I cannot believe that a Chinese run museum in Shanghai is STILL using the wrong fking map of China as well. This bullshit needs to fking stop. Where the fuck is South Tibet? From my observations, the Chinese government actually only take note of such issues in recent years (glad that this is improving but it is evidently still not enough), previously it's even worse when comes to paying attention to small details like using the "correct maps", there's always this traditional concept among Chinese people that "the bigger person shouldn't care too much about small things and should focus on big accomplishments" which is something I find completely unacceptable!!! Because this is a matter of basic principles and basic national sovereignty!!! And there is no reason you cannot achieve both things at once. Meanwhile Indians are although good at nothing, but I would give it to them that they are still good at publishing delulu maps and play with the fine details just to push false propaganda. This museum should change their Chinese map immediately. what's next? use another Indian propaganda map where they also carve out Aksai chin? this is absolutely completely ridiculous government oversight. Let me remind everyone that South Tibet is an integral part of China that was illegally invaded by the British Empire against the Qing Dynasty of China during the Century of Humiliation and such illegal invasion and unilateral demarcation is never recognized. India is extremely shameless to keep occupying stolen Chinese lands and continuing the legacy of British Imperialism and colonization. They initially actually do not even dare to add it to their map but got bolder and bolder over the years.

Somebody needs to write in to the Shanghai government and the museum in charge to get that map fixed at once!!!
