Yeah... right.

Well, I suppose it would actually depend on whom you mean when you say China. If you mean the people, then you're quite right. I saw that even here in Macau, and it wasn't even a part of China back then. But if you mean the Chinese government, as you obviously do, then you couldn't be more wrong. The Chinese goverment didn't - doesn't - give a damn about the four dead people. They weren't mad. They merely pretended that they were mad, so they could ruthlessly exploit the incident to get what they wanted. Politics, Kalkrath. That's what it's called.

Quarto: I'll have to look up that Spain thing, but you can hardly call our revolution against Holland a war. Our revolutionaries were just making a stand in one of the parks of Brussels surrounded by the Dutch. We then proceeded to kick them out.(how we ever managed that is beyond me) and then the King of Holland was in denial for a good 7 years. Britain quickly reconised us as an independant state to have "blockade"-country against French expansion, should they decide to go on the Napoleon-tour again. The Brits guaranteed us eternal neutrality. But the Kaiser had other plans in WW1 and by violating our borders was for a large part responsable for dragging Britain into the war. We just won WW1 because we were on the allies' side and never oficially surrendered.

Don't worry, No Regret. That's how we in Poland won WWII.

Kalkrath: Nope, not enough. China, as you may or may not recall, is not a democracy. Ergo, the people have no say.
