Firstly, my question was a genuine attempt to understand where you were coming from vis-vis the correlation between Bonaparte and Xi.
It was inquiring and not in any way an attempt to insult your position.
So, when you reverted to me with the dribble you offered, I had no choice but to do my own research.
Yes Bonaparte and Xi share one and only one common fact IMO ,they were both exiled.

Other than that fact, I find your position baseless and factually incorrect to the point of been a pack of lies.

Bonaparte's land claims were against his own people to partly fund his failed Russian war, which was the result of a trade war.

And you somehow have forgotten the Louisiana land purchase.

Fact Hong Kong was always Chinese

The fact that the land of hope and glory and opium afforded the poms to lease the island is an abomination, would it be tolerated today?.

Fact the septics offered Taiwan to China in 1943.

When one looks in the rear vision mirror, one really needs to ask the question why did the poms war with Prussia Russia and Austria?, when Bonaparte was fighting for what the poms already had., after they beheaded a certain king a century earlier.
