They conquered and annexed their part of Kashmir and still claim Indian territory today. Crazy bc both countries were socialist too

I wouldn’t call the modern state of China the second most imperialist power in history but they are definitely still imperialist

I mean the historical dynasties of China were literally the most well functioning imperial governments in history

It’s strategically important due to elevation and water content as many major rivers are fed from the glaciers in that area. The Himalayas are where wars for water will be fought over. Also hella minerals in that region. Which even if it’s uninhabited it’s sovereign territory of another state. Kind of like Trump wanting to take Greenland
