>Chinese President Xi Jinping argues that the state must recover what his party sees as historical territory to overcome its so-called century of humiliation<
Simple disinformation - PRC has more borders than any country on the planet and has settled almost all of its disputes. If FP had any fidelity to the facts, it would point out that it is the ROC (Taiwan) which retains its claim to the borders of the Qing Empire, not the PRC
While it's true that the PRC has settled many border disputes, it still has many remaining, and not merely those relating to islands and the South China Sea.
incidentally, the South China Sea claims made by the PRC, is based on claims made by the ROC, which maintains perhaps the most maximalist position of all the claimants in the area.
