I was not saying that China's history was like the one of Germany. What I said is that suggesting that it's part of the Chinese culture to invade countries is like suggesting that it's part of the German's culture to invade France. Hitler and Mao where 2 nutjobs. But we don't associate every German to Hitler's actions and we should not associate every Chinese to Mao's actions of Tibet invasion and other acts of genocide.

I fail to see how China has been comparable to Great Britain. The Mongolians under Genghis Khan has conquered a large territory. But it was kept well within Eurasia. Perhaps you are confusing Mongolian history with the Chinese one? Great Britain in comparison has had an empire that literally went around the world on all continents.

I also fail to see which African nation has conquered other territories. A large number of these countries where conquered and colonized by European nations.
