This thread started from the claim that China will invade with particular purpose: "I can see it bleeding more territory to China".

I was replying to the poster who said:

``` Number of countries invaded by China in the middle east: 0

Number of countries invaded by USA in the middle east: 3 and few more got bombed

I mean "This is so long as there isn't a NATO-like structure to keep Chinese aggression in check, constituted of its neighbors.".. try to be a bit more self reflective. ```

I was pointing out that this seems to misrepresent the acts of China, due to its numerous armed conflicts with its neighbors in recent history. Though incidentally, this sidebar does seem also shore up the point for the "I can see it bleeding more territory to China" regardless. Here are more citations if you need them: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupation_of_Mongolia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020%E2%80%932021_China%E2%80%... - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_disputes_in_the_So...

"its numerous armed conflicts with its neighbors in recent history"

So which country has China invaded in the recent history? Bringing up events that happened more than hundred years ago looks strange.

You keep referring to the outliers in these citations rather than referring to the ones that clearly make the point. You have done this twice already in this chain, so I do not think any number of citations will satisfy you, since you will just ignore the ones that you do not agree with.

> I do not think any number of citations will satisfy you

Ahhhh, anti-China narrative is not working! China is evil, my western propaganda won't lie!

This is hyperbole and not reflective of what I was saying or what the citations lay out as facts. Can you attack the argument instead of putting words into my mouth?
