Im not trolling at all but people see China as an Empire yet nobody ever claims America to be the same.
I would not call China an empire just a big juggernaut really
China is the oldest Empire in the world mate, Tibet is an annexed country trying to get independence.

It was an Empire long before European states came to be, the time when European Empires started to expand was the same time China destroyed its own navy and closed its borders with its new dictatorship.


Communisum took over so its a new empire. BTW last Emperor of China was betrayed during the end of WWII. Communist China is on the rise. Exceeding ones Grasp is not a good thing.

They might have lent us money but do you think for one moment its not in there best intrest to invest in America. China is trying to move in on the Ameican Empire. Geez they teach kids history these days or did they sleep in class ?.

It's the world superpower, and socially and culturally it is an empire as it is the head of the West.

So technically, Yes.

That's called a hegemony, not an Empire.

Look it up in the Dictionary and its an Empire. Allot of words are used to describe one. And No you do not need a Emperor to have one.
