So by this logic, during the ISIS's existence, PRC intruded into India. India is against ISIS. Therefore, China is on ISIS's side? > The Chinese have a different opinion. Opinions don't matter though. So strange you are fixed on a war that long ago. The duration between the last US-UK war and Opium wars is much shorter than the Opium wars and the present. During this time, US helped China by opening up its market asymmetrically and being on its side during WW2 and even gave China aid. > President Roosevelt approved $25 million in military aid to China on 19 December 1940, permitting the Chinese to purchase one hundred P 40 pursuit aircraft. By late spring 1941, the United States had also earmarked over $145 million in lend-lease funds for China to acquire both ground and air equipment. https://www.history.army.mil/brochures/72-38/72-38.htm#:~:te....
