主题：【原创】一些凌乱的想法，想到哪说到哪 -- puma2011

global player in GLOBAL politics for 300 years. Just like Roman elites 2000 years ago, UK elites played nations like masters played chess.

Before Chinese, there were Spanish empire, Sweden, France, Germany, Turkish empire, all mid-east tribes, all Indian kings/khans, Russian empire, etc. All defeated by UK one by one along the path of history. As an overseas Chinese, I was still impressed by the awe enjoyed by the Flag Jack in Latin America, India-Pakistan and mid-east. English elites learned to convert its disadvantage as a multi-ethnic nation (scots, celtic, Welsh, etc) into a great advantage: expertise in managing a multi-cultural empire.

Chinese elites, in the past 300 years, have barely stepped out of their own national boundary. The troubling sign is that decades after 1949, Han Chinese ruling elites (不如满族统治者）still could not handle two minority regions: Tibet and Xingjiang. Out of the national boundary, I can barely see diplomatic success of Chinese Han elites in Vietnam, North Korea, Mongolia, Burma, Thailand (look at what happened to the recent pro-China Thai PM), Laos, Cambodia, or in Afganistan, or other mid-Asia muslim nations. One failure after another.

I hope I can have confidence just like 五毛们 on this forum. But bloody cold facts do not help at all. 五毛们嘴巴硬有屁用。
