historically the mandarins mandate, it's "china" and in steps, the state (the administration) of it, too, part of the mandate of heavens, to have it : stateing, doing the activites of state, and by the existence of said border to be able to define it's reach and duties and problems and solutions. for by with chineses in china for china. (the problem of the feodalism that had to be erased, by the glorious Mao and commrades toward the rejuvenation and modernization, a traditional "great refresh" or updating the whole to the current time in the best available solutions :). under-performance transformed into progressive achievements.

a global res publica, not possible, as among others it erases the difference of the paths and ways of each in their own motions. once you understand what this "ideal" is, and what it does, become quite ugly, beyond it's fell good so "common" "wars on [insert anything]".

then where the "kantian" impressed by the "though" of the leader arrive, as they believe their "aim" "ending all wars", so to do wars on all, to achieve the submission to this "peacefull oness".

again with a proper siding in the basis co-existence, way easier to reach mutual understanding of those concerned. again in a place where no one drinks milk, the story of "illegal" raw milk, makes 0 sense. and inversely as equally where it's used the illegal "substance" the raw milk since the dawn of ages.

so this "unifying" pressure, typic of the evangelicals, you are LIKE US, or you burn to hell, not friendly as it's outside pressure. and not inward evolution, again, the success of a rice field, always attracts at least questions... "how did you do that?" "hmmm, ahh you stopped walking on your hands..., but it's illegal" :)
