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.
