Discussions about the history and policy of China are often limited with her uniqueness in the sense that China’s historical path does not correspond to tendencies common for other states. It is considered that, though China has been several times won by foreigners, she had not become a part of any other state, because invaders were quickly assimilated by their new subjects. This opinion, partly true, seems to be rooted in traditional sinocentric concept of the history developed many centuries ago by Chinese Confucian historians. According to this concept, China is a unique state, the main state in the world, and she cannot become a part of any other state. It is broadly accepted that more than 200 years ago understanding of China and the Chinese as a multinational community has been similar with what we associate with modern national identity of China and her citizens [Source]
