Chinese dying in China because of China's policy is their national problem but European powers going to some other country and meddling with their administration causing famine and benefiting economically is a different issue. This is an apple to orange comparison, I am afraid.

We'll have to disagree then. The Chinese government was not representative, it was won by conquest (at brutal cost to the ethnic populations of the territories conquered).

That they now claim national sovereign status seems immaterial. Thats like saying that it was ok for the Delhi Indians to slaughter the Mewat because they are now the same nation. They weren't then.
