    Do not pass go, do not collect $200

    How many wars has China gotten into since the end of its civil war? How many places has the US invaded since then?

      A few honestly, the Korean War, Sino-Soviet border clashes, the invasion of Vietnam, troops in Cambodia to help them fight Vietnam, the first and second Taiwanese Strait Crisis, the invasion of Tibet, the Sino-Indian War, and technically as a part of the UN Security council they have troops fighting in Mali against ISIS currently.

      But I understand the point you are making and I’m not trying to discredit it, just wanted to give some context.

      Those conflicts are also nothing compared to the terror the US has committed.

        I guess a better question would be “how many civilians has China killed in warfare compared to the US since the 1940s”

        We would be talking tens of thousands versus tens of millions

          Absolutely, the terror of the United States far outstrips whatever the Chinese have done.

          But to simply act like China hasn’t been in a war since its Civil War seems disingenuous.

            But so is praising china, seemingly just to take a dig at the US. CIRITICIZE BOTH. They’re both brutal power-hungry states. They can both be wrong.
