Sepoy Mutiny British thinks they Could Do What They Want

The British think that they are the boss of us. They think they could belittle us. The British wants us to touch the most vile animal ever; pork. Not only do they want us to touch that it but they want us to put it in our mouth. They also want to make us use the most sacred animal for bullets. Are those Britts out of there mind? We are outraged that they would even think about it.

But they dont know that they have it coming. They will be very debilitated after were done with them. It just agravates me that they would even think about telling people who are high on the caste system what to do. Do they know who they are talking to? We should all just rebel and show them whos boss.

In the article "US Watches China Warely" by Adam Brookes it explains how China is more upgraded with its technology than we are. It also states that China wants to control Taiwan and will not accept defeat. China has nuclear war heads, missiles, and a strong navy just to make Taiwan a part of China. China believes that America will interfere with thier plan which led China to create mass destructive weapons.

China made it clear that they will fight for Taiwan.
After the Opium war China had with Great Britain it left China debilitated. China crumbled after the opium war. China lost the opium war and were forced to legalize the opium drug since Great Britain had a stronger force than them.
