yeah its kinda wild they defaulted to that immediately lolI don't know why you're trying to downplay the comparison. Yeah, they may not have taken over, but the rebellion caused significant damage to the empire, weakened the standing of the leadership, and started the decline of the Tang dynasty. It also led to more secessionist movements popping up.
I stated facts as well. The Tang dynasty, regardless of how modern Chinese see it, was set into a death spiral by the rebellion. The comparison is significant from the neutral Chinese in this situation.
Russians are a nation of fukking bytches. Oh my god.
