      Fr. I wonder how advanced China would’ve been if the British didn’t invade on the pretense of the opium stuff, and the Japanese Imperialists didn’t invade, looted, and burned stuff, and the massacres… Perhaps it would’ve become an actual bastion of freedom, democracy, prosperity, instead of… you know… current timeline.
