    But the nation of China wasn’t founded on genocide. The US was. Without the genocide of the Native Americans, there would be no US.

      Correct. The modern extent of China was acquired by genocide, but the notion of China itself was not.

      I think the deciding difference is the foreign invasion and colonization that funded the US vs. the near mythologic cycle of violent fracture and violent reunification of China.
