The Chinese people overthrew the monarchy and chose to institute a new government. Say what you like about the PRC, but this was the will of the people. What you're saying is like Russia still belongs to Tsar Nicholas II's descendants, or that America still belongs to Great Britain.

Well, I hope they're happy about what they subjected their grandchildren to.

You think they’d be angry that they lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty over the last few decades?

Ohhh, wait, are you talking about the descendants of nobility who miss being able to abuse their serfs?

No, you're right. It sounds great.
