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.
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"
Oh I thought it was to project power and pursue territory disputes. Building islands in neighboring nations waters and stuff. Flying jets over the Philippines and such.
China spends so much on its military and miltech. Why is that again?
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.
And the conflicts that do happen, happen at the behest the US and in the interest of US corporations. And the US has control over the narrative surrounding the conflict.
