It’s not obtuse to point out that it’s racist to say that what the Chinese had 5000 years ago was a nation but what the Incas or Cherokees, for instance, had was not.
A nation is defined by a collective identity just as much as it is the government. The Native Americans are not the United States.
You compared the establishment of the PRC to the existence of Chinese people. I did the same with the people in the United States. I’m being respectful of the cultural differences between the European colonialists and the Native Americans. How does that make me racist?
Nobody is talking about the United States. This whole thread is about your quote from the Chinese government.
I didn’t compare anything to anything, I asked a question and have not gotten an answer. I have already explained how one possible answer of that question would be racist.
