This is kind of a mess.
- No one died in the Gulf of Sidra Encounter, and we're calling it a "war"? By that metric China's border skirmishes with India should be listed here
- China was directly involved in Operation Ocean Shield, sending ships and coordinating with NATO, but it's only listed for the US
- If we're including support to genocidal and belligerent states as complicity in wars, China has been sending arms to the junta in Myanmar
First two points are valid. Third is not. "Junta" or not, Myanmar has a legitimate government and co-operating with them as they would with any other country's government is absolutely in line with China's policy of non-interference. Especially since China has a vested interest in maintaining stability in South East Asia, they are definitely not going to be sympathetic to western backed insurgencies. The deposed government before the junta was stacked full of NED graduates by the way. China would be absolutely stupid to actively support a return to power of western puppet compradors who would purposely block regional economic development and co-operation and turn Myanmar into another anti-China proxy instead.
It being in line with Chinese foreign policy goals doesn't change the fact that the government they're selling arms to is committing genocide. And irrespective of the moral issue, if we're listing arming Israel and Ukraine as a war for this list we should be including arming Myanmar as one too
Then we should also note that previous to 2022 it was Israel selling Myanmar small arms. Their standard issue rifle is a licensed Galil.
China never killed a US civilian while the same cant be said for the US due to the uh cough accidental cough bombing of Chinas embassy in Yugoslavia
China never killed a US civilian
That's cause the average Chinese person thinks libs are Western folklore; the internet is changing that (Chinese red note users getting surprised everything their government told them about America was true was hilarious)
"Oh yeah well then explain covid (which also isn't real but it's actually not that bad if you get it it's just like the flu but we should sanction China for releasing a bioweapon on the US). I hold a consistent worldview with no contradictions because capitalism is the best system ever made. Checkmate liberal!"

China probably killed a few when they were cleaning up the CIA rings in the early 2010s
It's not even full list for US presidents. Obama alone waged iirc 13 wars, though some were inherited from Bush and/or passed to Trump too.
Is there a better quality of this image?

I'd show this to the lib I work with but honestly? If the conflict happened before the 2000's then it's an old conflict, if it happened post 2000's then there was a good reason for it (bUt ThE LeAdEr WaS a diCtAtOr).
Y'all got any more of them there pixels? My old eyes aren't what they used to be
best I can do :) https://lemmygrad.ml/post/8122113/6495367
Why even post a link to that comment? Do you think it's a good example of... well, anything? It's yet another ignorant lemoid lib pearl clutching about something they know nothing about while thinking they owned the tankies but actually just embarrassing themselves by revealing they have no idea what they're talking about. There's no insight or anything new, just making up a strawman ironically by accusing "tankies" of making a strawman. Are you directing us there to so we can point and laugh at how stupid the sinophobic liberals are? If that's the case, then fair enough.
