Generational Dynamics World View
(09-18-2017, 09:54 AM)John J. Xenakis Wrote: In reviewing Hong's work from the previous posting, it's
interesting to list Hong's solutions to the problems:
  • Floods
  • Drought
  • Rebellion
  • Epidemic diseases
  • Development of production
  • Decrease of taxation
  • Opposition to luxuriousness
  • Annexation of land
I assume that "Annexation of land" means invasion of someone else's
land and extermination of the existing population.  This is typical of
Chinese thinking today, as be seen in China's relations with the South
China Sea, Japan, India, and so forth.  The Chinese see annexation of
someone else's land as the natural thing to do.

Your assumption is likely wrong; China through the ages has been an agricultural country surrounded by nonagricultural regions, so China could annex land, increase its food productivity using agriculture, and assimilate the population without any extermination.

Nor is it at all "typical of Chinese thinking" today:  Chinese thinking today still ranks development of production highest among solutions, for example with their active development of alternative power sources.  The South China Sea is the only place where China is showing any tendency toward expansionism, and no one lives there to be exterminated.
