How many wars has China started in the last century?

Very convenient of you to not include what China is doing in Nepal, Hong Kong, Xinjiang and on the Indian border. And if China hadn’t stuck its dick into the Korean War, the whole peninsula would probably be as prosperous as the south.

  North Korea was more prosperous than South Korea, until the US bombed flat over 85 percent of the buildings in North Korea. 20 percent of the population of North Korea died. I'm going to bookmark your comment and read it instead of drinking coffee every day this month, thanks.

    This comment makes little sense since north Korea didn't exist before the Korean war, and it's was only AFTER the war that the north enjoy some prosperity due mainly to the south not having as much investment as the north.

  Let's pretend US sanctions have had nothing to do with N Korean prosperity.

  Very convenient for you to ignore the question and sidestep it.

They mostly just massacre their own.

Between 5-7, depending on how you count. Although that type of whataboutism is entirely irrelevant to a space arms race.

  It started as a comparison, it’s a question of hypocrisy. Very convenient to be able to invent labels like “whataboutism” to stop a comparison when your side starts it but then someone else asks “what about your own history?”

What a weird question, does that include Chiang Kai-shek? or limited to the "communist" party? You don't remember the '79 Vietnam War? The Chinese one where they invaded North Vietnam with thousands tanks and 10s of thousands on both sides died over the course of months. Relations normalized in '91. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Vietnamese_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Vietnamese_War China supported the Khmer Rouge, maybe Pol Pot is memorable?

  I asked a specific question, what’s the number, and compare it to the answer for the US.
