A South Korean Professor Asking about China's Rising Presence in the World
Today, a South Korean professor asked me a question sort of like: China is rising, what do you think of it sending armies to the Nansha Islands?
I was wondering "oh my God", and my answer was sort of like: California belonged to Mexico - if Mexico was rising and if it was more powerful than America now, I think Mexico would also send armies to California.
Professor: You're wrong.
Me: I'm curious why.
So now I'm waiting for the email from him.

It's not a disputed territory because America is way more powerful than Mexico.

Pointless question and this is more of a political question than a language question. I would only add that the analogy is wrong because California was never a disputed territory so you cannot compare the two.
