Sure, I live in the UK and I live in constant fear of the mighty US drone army. Our laws (a great deal of which predate the existence of the US) have no meaning.

Congratulations, England is an old country.

Not that old. The US is just an infant by comparison, that is all.

The Republic of China is only about 100 years old.

[pluma]

The PRC, yes. China, no.

That's like saying Germany is only 70 years old because the Federal Republic was only created after WW2.
