Sichuan didn't have chillies either. Imagine that...
I agree that's a little bit of a mindblower, but idk, maybe it's because I learned as a 白左 (/s) but I feel like people in China actually do know that.
I think in general people in China know their actual history more than people in the west. But I haven't actually been to China so I only see it from the lens of people who are able to talk to foreigners who are bad at Mandarin
And also I know that wasn't the point and I'm not going to pretend they were saints either but I still should point out, China wasn't the one going around stealing land, they got it through trade. And just like today we're not supposed to consider who China is trading with to be bad. Trade happens in a vacuum and builds the productive forces so it is always good. Mmhm.
