China - World Leader.

Why does China keep flexing their military to the rest of the world? What have we done to make them so angry?
Can you give me one single example of China flexing its military mate. The United States has war fleets on every ocean, 800 military bases around the world, enough nuclear weapons to wipe out life on earth several times over, has been waging war in the Middle East and Nkrth Africa for 30 years and is illegally occupying Iraq and Syria against the wishes of their governments and people. And what the H are US ships doing in the Douth China Sea anyway?

Ask Vietnamese, Indians, Bhutan, Nepal, Japan, Philippines and many countries neighboring China that China has not threatened and occupied their land.

800 military bases of US around the world is with the invitation of host countries for their protection from hostile enemy neighbors none of them are used to attack them. China has wages war against Tibet, India, Vietnam, Russia and smaller players Bhutan and Nepal they just walk over and build Chinese colonies in their land. China = Expansionist.

Tibet has been part of China, which is not an ethnostate, for centuries. With India it’s a long-standing border dispute high up in the Himalayas that has no bearing on the lives of the Indian people except In so far as it suits Adolf Modi’s political agenda. As for Vietnam, there’s something there, but it’s being resolved. China is now Vietnam’s largest trading partner, and the Vietnamese rejected Vice President Harris’ attempt to bring their country into an anti-China alliance. It was the United States that dropped over 7,000,000 tons of bombs, napalm, white phosphorus etc. on that poor country, murdered over 1 million Vietnamese and poisoned their land with agent orange. Then broke its treaty obligation to help pay for the reconstruction costs. Vietnamese and Laotians are still being murdered by unexploded bombs and land mines the US military murder machine left behind. And another commentator has dealt with the absurd example of Japan.

Japan is probably the worst example you can quote given their history .

Nepal seems to think that way of India and it led to an embargo which was resolved by China.

Bhutan has territorial disputes and has not been allowed to negotiate with China since they need to go through India first.

Most of the other land disputes seem to have been settled by an agreement especially if you have your people inhabiting the region .

Vietnam/ Philippines/ 9-11 dashed lines came from American support of ROC claims. Current disputes came when ROC lost and PRC became the China .

China is pretty thuggish in their treatment of smaller countries but I wouldn't call them expansionist . India is expansionist. Not China. (PRC) They've never expanded beyond what they considered was the territorial extend of Qing and ROC

China talks about Qing dynasty times for excuse for expansion into other nations territory if you go by similar logic India lost territory to Pakistan, Bangladesh even Myanmar was part of India and with Nepal the dispute is simple definition of what is east side of river with 2 branches for years Nepal didn’t say anything and then with China’s instigation starts creating trouble in long term family type relations being an only other Hindu majority nation besides India. China always creates trouble in Indian neighborhood why don’t they confine themselves to Easter half of their country where 95+% of people live.

Funny how the question is about China, but talk only about the USA. Downvoted and reported for not answering the question.
