Oh nice, I remember reading just this in Volume 1 of the Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping, which you can read for free online.

This will confuse many people who forget that nation states is a relatively modern concept that has only existed for only two and a half centuries or so. I feel taking the existence of national boundaries and how they come about as granted contributes a fair bit to the impulsive tendency in western discourse to support secessionist movements.
