1.3-1.4 billion folks +/-, practically organized into china the mainland, hong kong, taiwan, singapore, macao at essentially 95% of one ethnic group, effectively operating in one language and believing in one deity w/ a president in one border state, a prime minister and a king in another peripheral nation, and some generational explorers / diaspora here there everywhere empire? no at least not by webster after the practical details are specified just as, for example … when we say 'american', we seem to need to add further details, such be afro-american, american hispanic, etc when we note 'russian', these threads are starting to note further details (tartars, slavs, bulgars, etc etc) whereas when we refer to the english, it is naturally understood we mean some folks living on some island west of france we of the thread have not gained enough knowledge about india to discern the next levels of detail necessary to describe the very complicated subcontinent but when we note 'jews' and 'chinese', what do we exactly mean, and do we mean the same ? thus your "____________________" 'empire' goes into the blank? surely not.
