Isn't fighting China off a core part of their culture/history?

- rkk3 5y agoI was referring to not being a historical precedent with the Philipines. I am not an expert in south-asian studies either, but my understanding of Chinese Imperialism & their relation with Korea & Vietnam etc, was that they have been quasi independent vassal states which is quite different than traditional western imperialism or having a direct claim on the land.
