HK was handed back to PRC in 1997, there was a ceremony and everything. Just because it was stolen by the British for sometime doesn't mean it isn't Chinese. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handover_of_Hong_Kong

A border dispute between Bhutan and China isn't something exceptional, Wikipedia has a list of border disputes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_territorial_disputes your country might have some of its own

I never said it was exceptional, quite the opposite, I'm saying many countries have border disputes.

Interesting that you don't seem to care about my other examples, Gaza or Crimea. Got a soft spot for China?

What a weird response. I was addressing your comment. You didn’t mention Palestine -all of it is Palestine FYI, Israel is just another Crusader state- and Crimea should be returned to the Crimean Tatars, both Slavic peoples are invaders.

But no, you would rather play the Sinophobia and Yellow Perilism card and assume that I receive Xi bucks. What a day! I didn’t mention my own country’s border disputes with its neighbors either! Didn’t see it necessary to educate you on the matter.

Oh whoops, it must have been a different post in this thread that I mentioned Gaza.

I've said nothing of the sort. That sounds like deflection.
