America has engaged in war the majority of the post world war 2 era. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan twice, Iraq twice. And that’s not including all the proxy wars they’ve funded.
Yes every instance was totally bad. The U.S. should’ve done nothing to counter USSR and their dominoes across the world. US should’ve just let every country fall into an authoritarian USSR influenced country.
Obviously, I don’t blindly think every war was good, such as Bush era Iraq. However, defending Kuwait was 100% defensible in Gulf War.
The point I’m trying to make is America likes war a lot. China hasn’t fought a war in 50 years. It’s hard to take Americans seriously when they accuse someone of being aggressive.
Oh I thought it was to project power and pursue territory disputes. Building islands in neighboring nations waters and stuff. Flying jets over the Philippines and such.

China spent 250 billion US dollars on defense last year. Clearly that’s for nothing.
The way the US centric world works, you kinda have to, or you risk inviting the US trying to spread “freedom”

China spends so much on its military and miltech. Why is that again?
Don’t forget Africa!
