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]
