China hasn't invaded a country in 50 years and hasn't put an offensive military anywhere in decades. They very much keep to themselves as far as large economies

China hasn't invaded a country in 50 years and hasn't put an offensive military anywhere in decades. They very much keep to themselves as far as large economies go.
Find the amount of yellow peril in this thread amusing. I guess no one really worries about the numerous invasions by US/UK/Allies
- bzbarsky 8y agoFor most of that time China was not a "large economy". That said, your "50 years" number is conveniently eliding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Vietnamese_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Vietnamese_War which was closer to 40 years ago. Just because China failed to invade successfully doesn't change the fact that it invaded. As for China's future actions, we'll see what they are. So far, the territorial claims they are making are not looking like they will lead to peace in the future. For the rest, the people not worrying about invasions by US/UK/Allies live in those countries, I expect.
- A2017U1 8y agoI'm not sure I'd call that an invasion, it was a 3 week assualt on the border in response to Vietnam deciding to go overthrow and occupy Cambodia and Laos, both of whom were supported by China. There's not enough room in the comments to write down the last 50 years of US and allies boots on ground adventures bringing "peace" to the world.
