Because that might mean doing something, and not just having a totem to direct the hate of the people against, the all-powerful, cruel west, who has humiliated China for centuries, even causing the deaths of 50 million Chinese (at the hands of the CCP during the great leap forward).
Stupid politics for stupid people, a common story the world around.
The Opium wars were part of the century of humiliation.
In mainland China, the century of humiliation is considered to have ended in 1949 with the founding of the People’s Republic of China. In Taiwan, the century of humiliation is considered to have ended in 1945, when the ROC became a founding member of the United Nations with a permanent seat on the UN security council. (That seat was transferred to the PRC in 1971.)
The assumptions of how china thinks in this thread are hilarious, so many people just making stuff up because it allows them to feel superior.
Especially you throwing big numbers around which you clearly don’t have any concept of what they represent, you saw memes that china killed 50 million people and instead of having any curiosity you just use it as a crude cudgel and swing meaninglessly. It’s sad but also kind of funny to me, if you had any concept of history you could have written a post that makes sense but instead you just want to find an excuse to call people stupid - is that not ironic to you, calling out people for stupid politics when you know full well you’ve just invented your argument based on zero actual understanding of what you’re talking about? Isn’t that a far better example of stupid politics for stupid people?
There’s plenty of good reasons to call this statement as its presented stupid but you missed them all and went for something stupid.
Wow thank you for this constructive and informative comment. I learned so much about the knowledge that you have on how the CCP works because you took the time to tell me what you wish everyone would know, instead of just calling everyone except you stupid without expanding on your point.

A century.
It was the century of humiliation. Not centuries of humiliation.
Oh, good to hear they either got over the opium wars, or don’t consider the Great Leap Forward to be that humiliating.

I mean, as a westerner, Id think losing a war against sparrows would be pretty humiliating too.
