I'm not sure I entirely agree with the above. China, Japan, Siam, Amman (Vietnam), Tibet and Burma all existed with borders and boundaries long before the influence of Western nations impacted on them.
A more accurate statement might be that tribal nations (including the Americas before Europeans landed, the Middle-East, other parts of SW Asia, much of the island areas of the Pacific, and Africa in general) do not have borders and boundaries as a core concept.
