This is plainly, a lie. Here's a list of Chinese territorial acquisitions since the communists rose to power: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_changes

  Actually that link's numbers show that China's area hasn't changed by even 1%. In particular, the largest listed conflict: 1962, China won the military victory of Sino-Indian War but withdrew to the pre-war boundaries.

    Just to be clear, and correct me if I'm wrong: is your argument that because China's acquisition of territory amounts to a small percentage of their previous territory in quantity, that it is not something serious? Does that mean that the China's intended colonization of Taiwan (in China's constitution), of which its territory is approximately 0.4% the size of China's current territory, would not be something serious? I'd appreciate a bit of clarity on exactly what you're arguing here.
