After stumbling upon the American Game of Thrones meme, I realized that certain politicians in my country remind me of certain historical figures in ancient China. I spent two nights doing some gifs. Have fun answering the following questions. :)

1. Guess what "the nation" is. (It's an actual nation.)
2. Guess what "Qin" is. (It's an actual nation too.)
3. Each paragraph that begins with "Then..." refers to an ancient Chinese historical figure. Each paragraph that begins with "Now..." refers to a politician in my country (mostly deceased, but some are still alive and well) who somehow reminds me of the ancient Chinese historical figure. If you wish, you may guess who these politicians are. (Clue: Google is always there to help you.)
Bonus qn: If any politician in your country reminds you of any historical figure or fictional character, feel free to post your thoughts here.

Disclaimer: History is very murky. My view on history is merely a view. Views aren't =facts.

What is "your country" please?
Its not in your profile.

Are you chinese, or non chinese ( it makes a difference in trying figure out what you're talking about)?

To naturalplastic: Yup, I'm Chinese. Every modern-day politician mentioned here is Chinese except "Chen Ping" and "Chu Yi Di" and "Ying Bu".
To ruveyn: Hi, do you mean "Is there a Chinese in Liu's armor?" literally or do you mean "Is there a Chinese in Liu's armor?"

Maybe the list below will give all a clue regarding which era(s) these modern-day politicians are most active in.

Deaths (From the earliest to the most recent)
1. Chu Yi Di (20th century)
2. Xiang Yu (20th century)
3. Ying Bu (21st century)
4. Chen Ping and Fan Kuai (21st century) (Died in the same year)
5. Han Xin (21st century)
6. Lu Zhi and Zhang Liang (21st century) (Died in the same year)
7. Xiao He (21st century)

Alive
1. Liu Bang
2. Liu Ying
3. Yu Ji

Isnt that joke a little like Icy telling you "to go fly a k*e"?

A good bad pun is one thing- but incorporating a racial slur is something else.
