Since World War 2, China has invaded Tibet, Korea, Vietnam, and India (twice). The US has invaded Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Iraq (twice), and Afghanistan in that same timeframe. While China has been less militarily aggressive than the US in recent history, that should not be understood as not militarily aggressive at all. Especially as three of the US invasions were in direct response to others' aggression and not naked aggression, as all of China's invasions have been.

You should be concerned if you're China's neighbor. In addition to the ones listed above, China had a border conflict with USSR in 1969 in Far East - [0]. China invaded the contested Paracel islands which was under South Vietnam's control at the time - [1]. China killed 64 Vietnamese solder in the Johnson South Reef Skirmish - [2] Worst of all, China directly supported and controlled Khmer Rouge, causing the death of at least a million Cambodians, 25% of their population. The worst genocide since WW2 that seems to have been gradually forgotten - [3]. Note that most Western countries also bore the responsibility, albeit indirectly, by the virtue of looking the other way. All of that happened when China was only a regional power with a poor economy.
