Yep, Germany even attempt this stuff further back in the 1870s (if more at a privately funded level) to take over Texas by sheer numbers. Thats why central Texas has so many little German towns and people of German descent from them, people lived and functioned in them without ever needing to learning english. It wasn't really enough to be successful though, by then lots of deep south refugees were also migrating to Texas as well. The final wrench was thrown with the US entering WW1. By then it wasn't so good to be the German guy, so most molded into being outwardly more American.
For those unaware China also likes to use the pretext of Qing dynasty era maps for what's considered theirs, they've been through at least 2 (3 if you count Japanese occupation) major governments since then and even more constitutions. It would be like Spain suddenly claiming that Texas belonged to them because it used to.
