    How to keep country colonize even in 21st Century? Simple, just don't call it colony anymore. Call it "Overseas territory" by your name. Example - British overseas territory, French overseas territory.

    a Britist company rented Sabah North Borneo but Britain inadvertently stole Sabah from filipino owners and gave it to Malaysia. And greedy Malaysia continues the wrongdoings.
