? The US has never invaded a country for the stated purpose of 'Democracy'. Moving an occupied nation 'on the path of liberalisation and democracy' has always been a 'side goal' but obviously not achievable in most contexts. Like Kuwait. But it obviously was in Korea, Japan, most of Eastern Europe. And the OP is cynical, it takes a lot for the US to mount a proper. Korea, Vietnam, Kuwait, and post 9/11 Iraq part 2 + policing actions in Afghanistan are relatively big deals. For the most part, there's no reason for the US and China to 'go to war'. What would they go to war over? The sheer physicality doesn't provide the opportunity. Except for Taiwan - which China will go to great lengths to nab, and the US/West may or may not go to great lengths to defend. Even then I don't see war. China will is not going to otherwise mount a military invasion of anything, it would be too costly. Their version of 'invasion' is called the 'Belt and Road' and it's ensuing corruption.
