Brandon Brooks
Chinks are subhuman so really that only counts for about 100,000 people
Jose Cox
Hilariously ignorant argument, the history and the impact of a city has to start somewhere.
Henry Jones
yeah but then as long as it's only starting there's only a very limited interest you can take in it (for anything tourism/cultural, not economic obviously)
Jayden Myers
Of course, tourism is a relatively new concept. What people consider to be modern now will be historic to people in the future.
Early history Edit Archaeological discoveries at the Sanxingdui and Jinsha sites have established that the Chengdu region was inhabited over four thousand years ago and was an important centre of a unique ancient culture during the period of Shang and Zhou dynasties.[13]
In the early 4th century BC, the 9th king of the state of Shu, Kaiming IX, moved his capital from today's nearby Pixian to the city's current location, and said to have named the city Chengdu.
The state of Shu was conquered by the State of Qin in 316 BC, and a new city was founded by the Qin general Zhang Yi (who as a matter of fact had argued against the invasion). This can be seen as the beginning of the Chinese Chengdu.
Han to Qing As a central city for at least 2000 years, Chengdu's influence gradually expanded from the Sichuan basin to Western China. At its height, Chengdu was named "One of the Five Metropolis" in China. During the Three-Kingdom period, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu kingdom, called Chengdu "the land of abundance". Chengdu became one of the foremost commercial cities in China during the Tang dynasty more than 1,200 years ago, second only after Yangzhou (simplified Chinese: 扬一益二; traditional Chinese: 揚一益二; literally: "Yangzhou first Yizhou (Chengdu) second"). Li Bai, the famous poet during the Tang dynasty, eulogized the city as "Chengdu lies above empyrean". Su Shi, the eminent writer during the Song dynasty, hailed Chengdu as "the southwestern metropolis".
During the partition following the fall of the Eastern Han dynasty—i.e., the era of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei founded the southwest kingdom of Shu-Han (221–263) with Chengdu as its capital. Over time, Chengdu had been the capital of six local feudal reigns of which Shu-Han is the best known.

Because I can live in Shanghai which has a much higher standard of living and better salaries. Other than Beijing and Shenzhen few other cities are worth living in.
Aiden Wright
>Because we care about the white world So you don't care about France?
Connor Brooks

Austin Brooks

Lincoln Howard

Henry Edwards
4 thousand years of history destroyed by Dur Reader Mao and his infirnate wisdom.
Dominic Smith
it's a meme victim olympics (also italian invasion of ethiopia, spanish civil war, sudetenland etc), in reality 2nd sino-japanese war was an isolated conflict that got swallowed up by global events that began in europe
what attention would you want it to receive?
Jack Morris
i like how they photoshopped the sky to look blue.
Jayden Clark
this
there's no way a city in china can have a clear sky
Liam Foster

Jackson Nelson
Because there are 500 others in China/East Asia.

Liam Morris

Aaron Reyes
Take that back, you unwashed Eastern barbarian!
Jackson Scott
You are a retard if you think even 5% of Chinese history was touched by the fag guards and their crazy leader.
Chase Hughes
Chengdu is in central China far away from the factories.
Also, Beijing/Shanghai/Shenzen all have blue skies for half the year.
Wyatt Evans
Chengdu is pretty cool. Tasty fish and cute pandas.
Noah Carter
Also fewer jews
Jaxon Stewart
That's why no one gave a shit about the greatest naval battle of ww2 and Death March
