      Modern China won its revolution in 1949.

      Also Palau gained independence from the USA in 1962.

        gonna be honest I didn’t put that much thought into this shitpost. maybe “imperialist state” instead of just state would make it work better

          Imperialist states are bad regardless of when they were born though.

          Also the PRC was technically founded in 49, but you can sort of say that it was functionally founded in like 47, when the KMT started establishing their settler-colonial shoe factory on Formosa.

            I would argue the PRC was a continuation of Chinese statehood making this whole point moot

        That’s just when the British and French took the land from the Ottomans. It didn’t formally become the ethnonationalist Zionist project until 1948.

        Although there were ancient varying Kingdoms of Israel in the Bronze and Iron ages in the Levant, they have basically nothing in common with the current settler colony other than the name.

        Someone more knowledgeable feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s my understanding that Israel wasn’t formally a state until 1948.
