your phone is doing that annoying thing again autocorrects the phrase “ethnically cleansed” into “assimilated” may wanna get that fixed could lead to confusion
China threw a million Muslims in concentration camps, demolished thousands of mosques, implemented an apartheid regime in a Muslim province, and got away with it completely
@Noahpinion
Partly because China was willing to assimilate their opponents. That's what usually defuses conquests in the end. Whereas if you conquer some other group and expect them to remain helots forever, there will always be resentment.
