I said their goal was to unite the world under communism, because it was:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Soviet_split
> In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Sino-Soviet debates about the interpretation of orthodox Marxism became specific disputes about the USSR's policies of national de-Stalinization and international peaceful coexistence with the Western world, which Mao decried as revisionism. Against that ideological background, China took a belligerent stance towards the West, and publicly rejected the USSR's policy of peaceful coexistence between the Eastern and Western blocs.

So that means they are no longer like that. Then it's not fair to say they "have been antagonist from the start", right? Imagine putting that same label on Japan because they were imperialist.

My point was, while they don't (openly) try to convert others to communism, China still sees America as the enemy and America sees China as the enemy. With good reason.
Why do you think this? Yes I know they're called the "Communist Party", but going from that to "unite the world under communism" is a big step.
Kishore Mahbubani, ex-UN Security Council head, ex-Singapore diplomat, says that China is communist in name only. In reality, the CCP is more like the "Chinese Civilization Party", Mahbubani said. Their goal is to advance the interests of China, not to promote world-wide communism. The opening-up since the 80s have been relentless. It's been going on for decades and they're still further opening up.
Why do you believe that their goal is to unite the world under communism?
