Way to move the goalposts. GGP asked for wars within the last century, and GP provided such a list.

Regardless, not sure why any of this matters. I'm not one of those "China bad!" hand-wringers, but if you don't believe the Chinese government is a threat to western countries' sovereignty and economies, I've got a bridge I'd like to sell you.

It's explaining / contextualizing the data, aka most of that list is "defensive" and limited in scope, which different vs products from actors who are expeditionary happy. The data shows PRC... having inherited 14 land borders conflicts from ROC, have largely limited use of force to just territorial sovereingty issues, which btw 12/14 have been resolved in last 40 years, essentially all with PRC concessions. Combine with PRC growth and subsequent rise, PRC peace is historic abboration, i.e. the PRC threat to wesern sovereignty is FUD outside customary state activities like espionage. Now if west wants to weaponize PRC threat/FUD to disguise the threat to genuinely competitive PRC products that will stomp their domestic industries, then sure, that's geopolitics 101.

Why don't you go see what the PRC's neighbors think about your "territorial defense" claims about these activities in the SCS?

And what's the going rate for posting this nonsense online?

You mean the 12/14 land borders disputee who settled with PRC ceding 50%+ concessions. Probably very happy because again objectively that is magnanimous by historic standards. For SCS where PRc offers to share but retarded democratic countries can't becausen itd political suicide, even now it's really just PH being a cunt. Otherwise unsettled land borders left is India and Bhutan because bhutan border ratification is linked to India's. So the answer is most of the neighbours think PRC did them a solid. Going rate for free math lesson that PRC has equals/most borders in the world and relations with most neighbours are good is free. Combo free geopolitical lesson that it's not good with the ones with US military cooperation that generates most propaganda.

No, that's not what I'm talking about, and you probably should get your information on foreign affairs from somewhere other than China Daily.

I get information from everywhere but reality has a china daily bias. This isn't complicated, you ask about PRC relation with neighbours I point out blind spot to of those with poor foriegn policy literacy, i.e. those who don't read enough china daily, that PRC has a lot of neighbours and most of them are in fact settled with PRC majority concessions and now at peace. If we're going to go even more China daily, essentially 100% of PRC disputes were inherited from ROC not only has PRC not caused any of the disputes, they have been borderline treasonous in unwinding through mostly diplomacy and minimum violence.

Keep deflecting and spinning.

ask how serene fishermen in the area are while their country sovereignty on internationally recognized territorial water is infringed upon regularly

Except you know, NOT internationally recognized except to manufactured misconception by headline scanning useful idiots. Reminder PH PCA ruling is not actual international law, as in recognized by UN/UNCLOS, ITLOS, ICJ. TBH its demonstrably stupid to even hold the position UNCLOS can rule on sovereignty claims - they fucking can't. To suggest PRC is infringing on others maritime entitlement in SCS is so stupid it's not even wrong because under UNCLOS it's not even legally possible. And also you know, who cares about a few butthurt fisherman, lol, like that's mild as fuck complaints on the spectrum of territorial drama. Every time people bring up muh fisherman they're just highlighting how generous PRC is behaving.

It's amazing how some upset fisherman look the same as a million murdered civilians in a lot of people's eyes

of course it doesn't, and I encourage you to quote where that was claimed.

that neither help nor comfort the fisherman. being third or fourth at the Oppression Olympic doesn't mean that less oppressed people have to suck it up and roll over.

what a weird line of reasoning.

It's a wierd line of reasoning to call trespassers... fisherman. These are "criminals" operating in disputed waters where their actions are classified as illegal by 1+ (frequently more than 1) disputees. They are schrodinger criminals due to grayzone nature of unsettled martime delimitations but umabiguous criminals under someones interpretation who are suppose to be repressed via domestic police enforcement.

Again this isn't just PRC doing it, this is 5 party dispute and most sides are doing their own law enforcement, up until recently with more militarized means like actual weapons discharge - PRC CG wasn't even armed until recently and they're still using relatively mild measures.

The OG comparison was Gaza, the parallel to these fishermen are closer to hamas insurgencies invading sovereign Israeli territory on the grayzone to legal spectrum. But what they are not, are "innocent", Gazans getting repressed (blown up) in their homes.

Well there's a lot of people far more upset about the fishermen than the dead civilians, which is especially weird to me seeing that the people complaining's tax dollars killed said civilians

The invasion of Zhenbao island was "territorial defense", really?

Before asking this question, can you Google "Zhenbao Island" first?
