    Don’t forget the US invades countries, steal their oil, kill their children, bring the world in the brink of bankruptcy. But no. China bad. How many countries has China invaded this decade vs that shining beacon of freedom and democracy?

      Ask Vietnam or any of their SE Asian neighbors how peaceful China is. China murders quite a few VN civilians every year and destroys fishing and oil/mineral ships regularly.
