Monarchies That No Longer Exist

China had an Emperor for over 2000 years, which is kind of insane to think about. By the time the Prophet Muhammad was born, Imperial China celebrated 800 years of its Empire.

Really reminds you just how special China is as a civilization

Did?
Other than Vietnam and China current borders what nation did they invade over their long history?

Have you heard of the hundred years of national humiliation?

It's the time period from 1845-1945 that China got invaded by every single foreign power except by the US

I get that that hence why I said current borders .
China did have the means to invade and colonise the world in the 1500's as it had the biggest naval fleet under general He but instead opted for Trade

true but the later emporers did neglect the fleet due various reasons as such their naval capabilities where so trash that pirates and some well armed fishing boats where able to slapp them so well and the trade served a point as it was meant to establish favorble trading relationships for the chinese and of they choose to continue colonaising they would've been able too creating a foothold in form of a trading outpost or military station in these nations witch would've developed into colonise since chinese are more then capable of not only populating these outports but also put rulers that favoured them in power can u imagine kenya being the property of the chinese since they due have a minorty that came to be due to some chinese sailors being strandet there

China special ??

Yeah, imagine if the ancient Egyptians Pharoah survived up until the 20th century with no change in their language and culture, that's what I mean by special.

A Chinese person in 2020 can read this writing from 825BC and find it legible, that is very very unique
