<China was invaded by Japan in 1931. >

That obviously doesn't include Taiwan, though supposedly, Taiwan has always been part of China. So, China was invaded by Japan in the 19th century when Britain's empire was most assuredly ascendant. .

<//Mercantilism and imperial conquest are flip sides of the same coin.//

Mercantilism might provide the reasons for imperial conquest but they are two different things. In any case the US's trade policy is not mercantilism.

//but the outcome is much the same. //

The outcome isn't even vaguely similar, except perhaps in Iraq, and even then it isn't the same.

We see different things in that case. You'll have to suit yourself on that and I'll continue to see things the way I see them.
