Colonialism. The most modern examples being Israel-Palestine, China-Taiwan, and Russia-Ukraine.
The west hasn't culturally processed or accepted a meaningful understanding of it's own Colonial past, right wing parties particularly reject doing so - calling attempts to do so woke, weak, or unpatriotic.
So of course we're not going to fully absorbe or react to other countries doing their own versions of it.
The idiots are taking over. Literally

Which modern example are you referring to, the 17th century mass migration of Han Chinese under the Dutch or the more recent relocation of Republic of China government under the Kuomintang in 1949?
The invasion plans. As your question its self notes, you can colonise somewhere that's already been colonised. Happens throughout history, as you just noted.
