<China has not done what the US has done to Mexico>

Wrong.

Every nation creates a mythology about itself, so they can Believe they are superior to the Others. Your claim that China is a peaceful nation that never seeks to dominate/colonize other ethnic groups, is as historically false as the claim that the U.S. is the most tolerant and free nation on earth.

Look at what China has done to Manchuria in the 20th Century. It is almost exactly what the U.S. did to the Great Plains tribes in the 19th Century. Manchuria was the ancestral homeland of the Manchu people. Beginning in the 1800s and continuing till today, the Han Chinese colonized Manchuria, so, today, the Manchus are a tiny minority in their own homeland. The Han didn't even give the Manchus any Reservations, they left them with nothing. Which is payback and then some, for what those "northern barbarians" did to the Han earlier.

And, today, the Chinese are doing the same thing in East Turkestan and Tibet, sending in Han colonists to permanently change the demographic balance.
