"China, a country that hasn't invaded another country in 50 years, is going to invade this country" said the country that invades a country once a decade.

    China claiming Taiwan is its territory and threatening invasion, the regular military "training exercises", even including the specific goal of Taiwan landing operations, and continuous hybrid attacks for years already, like invasion of Taiwan waters with fishing vessels, and cyber attacks, and you're sitting here claiming China isn't a country that would invade others. What do you make of these kinds of activities, then?

    The what-aboutism deflection doesn't work very well on an international comment section, either.

    I'm not an expert on Chinese military policy. I just know that all of us living in the West have been told by our media and our government that China is bad for us. I know we see the world through the lens of war.

    I know you think it’s impossible other countries could be bad because the U.S. is held under a microscope and intensely critiqued both by foreign interests and specific groups here. The U.S. is far from perfect but pretending other countries like China would never do bad is absolutely comical.

    You don't have to be so defensive. I'm not criticizing you personally.

    I didn't read their comment as defensive at all. Their comment ended not in defense but in questioning your original claim/original assessment. The sentence before that serves as reasoning for that.

    When you live in the imperial core of one of the most militaristic nations in the history of the world, everything seems like a provocation.

    Ironic considering much of the world was constantly in conflict prior to Pax Americana.

    America has engaged in war the majority of the post world war 2 era. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan twice, Iraq twice. And that's not including all the proxy wars they've funded.

    Yes every instance was totally bad. The U.S. should’ve done nothing to counter USSR and their dominoes across the world. US should’ve just let every country fall into an authoritarian USSR influenced country.

    Obviously, I don’t blindly think every war was good, such as Bush era Iraq. However, defending Kuwait was 100% defensible in Gulf War.

    The point I'm trying to make is America likes war a lot. China hasn't fought a war in 50 years. It's hard to take Americans seriously when they accuse someone of being aggressive.

    The US has solo hegemony and super power status that has been challenged but never overtaken. US/NATO (for what’s left of it) is the strongest alliance on the planet. My point is other countries are generally hesitant to start conflict due to US policing and involvement.

    China spent 250 billion US dollars on defense last year. Clearly that’s for nothing.

    The way the US centric world works, you kinda have to, or you risk inviting the US trying to spread "freedom"

    yes, because what happened in the past can perfectly predict what's going to happen next.

    not saying you are definitely wrong, but if someone wants to have a bet i wouldn't bet on the side of China not invading.

    Spoken like someone who is blinded by the Trump admin, obliviously naive. You must’ve been one of those that thought Russia would never invade Ukraine despite US intelligence.

    I'm blinded by the Trump administration because I don't believe American propaganda about Chinese aggression?

    No because you’re using your current “America bad” outrage to justify other countries and their expansionism. Other countries can be bad, you know? Many just were unable to do so under American hegemony.

    China hasn't tried to expand or colonize anyone in my lifetime. America has some so numerous times. Maybe stop being so defensive and look at history without your America colored glasses.

    I never once tried to say the US is perfect but countries are also more hesitant to do things like that due to US policing. So yes, while the U.S. has done bad, its geopolitical stance post WW2 has been mostly successful in stabilizing the world and deterring aggression.
