Things that look like ASB but aren't

China's utter unwillingness to significantly expand beyond it's borders for the whole of world history until now.

The Chinese heartland is much smaller than the current borders of China. In fact, most of Chinese history has been a slow and steady expansion of it's borders and the sinicization of the people living there. Most of southern China was relatively densely populated Thai-related peoples early on.

Hell, even in recent history there is plenty of evidence of Chinese expansionism. The colonization of Taiwan, Qing expansion into Central Asia, the absorption of Mongolia and Manchuria. If you include the migrations of ethnic Chinese throughout southeast Asia, then it's even more significant.

China didn't expand beyond it's borders in the same way as European powers, but their foreign expansion was significant.
 
So I googled as directed. Some guy with Asperger's who wants to get laid?

Heck that sounds like half this board!

Oh I wouldn't say half of us had Asperger's{if we did, we'd be in REAL trouble :D :cool::cool: :p}, but I guess we'd all like to get laid.

{P.S. please don't hate on me, I have ADD myself.}
