Hello there everybody.
Law proposed when writing sporting derby
[edit]I found some recent "derbies" are pretty absurd. So I have my proposal.
- 1. Derby will be applied when two rivalling forces share a similar ambition to win, and none wants the other to be better. It has to be hostile enough to make it important.
- 2. Derby must at least gain the importance with the two rivals must have at least achievements in the same kind of sports.
- 3. Derby must not be interrupted, which means it has continuously run and run for decades.
I will not hesitate to propose deletion for any "derbies" not qualifying for these quotas.
Territories claimed by the Republic of China
[edit]During the 20th century, the Republic of China claimed that numerous neighbouring countries and regions in Asia were lost territories of China.[1][2] Many of these lost territories were under the rule of Imperial Chinese dynasties or were tributary states.[1] Sun Yat-sen claimed that these territories were lost due to unequal treaties, forceful occupation and annexation, and foreign interference. Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong, among others, were supportive of these claims.[3]
