> You may have nothing against the Chinese or Chinese culture, but you may wish to simply keep your home city as is.
But I don't have any right to do that. I only own my own home/property; 'my' home city as a whole doesn't belong to me. Attempting to control what my neighbors may do with their homes and what kind of social arrangements they'll be allowed to participate in, to the point of trying to exclude entire ethnic groups from settling within some arbitrary boundaries - simply because I feel some personal sense of propriety over what doesn't actually belong to me - is the more direct and clear act of brute force here.
> Overtaking Nauru for your own purposes is a unilateral destruction of someone's home.
No, it isn't. Unilaterally destroying someone's home is a unilateral destruction of someone's home. Purchasing people's homes with their consent, and leaving alone those who don't want to sell, isn't destruction of anything.
