By that logic, China never would've dared to send a million soldiers to drive UN forces from North Korea during the Korean war.
Nor would Turkey have dared to shoot down one of Russia's warplanes based in Syria for violating its airspace.

- valuearb 9y agoNot only did it happen before nuclear weapons, but China has never been expansionist. The soldiers it sent into Korea were to help the north koreans. For a thousand years or more China has been content to stay within it's borders.
- sidmitra 9y agoI recently finished Bertil Lintners China's India War which is a counterpoint to Neville Maxwell's India's China's war. It seems the Chinese way is not expansionist by definition but instead declaring countries, land, sea as part of their historical empire and justify a war as a means for re-aquiring them. It doesn't really matter whether it was justified or not because they do everything to integrate the region after the forceful takeover.
- dingaling 9y ago> Not only did it happen before nuclear weapons Both Generals LeMay ( USAF SAC ) and MacArthur advocated widespread nuclear response to the Chinese intervention. They were overruled by President Truman. > For a thousand years or more China has been content to stay within it's borders Are the Paracel Islands, Spratly Islands and Formosa within China's borders? To all of which China lays claim.
