How many countries has China invaded?
This will probably devolve into the usual tropes. It's dangerous to go alone! Take this.
They would if they could. Imagine China having a powerful air force like the US have. They would dominate every country in the world just like the US is doing. The US puts almost all their money into high tech weaponry as well.
The US is going after the middle east to get oil and to establish military bases for future domination. Has nothing to do with liberation or democracy.
"imagine if China invaded the whole world. China doesn't sound so good now, does it?"
Brilliant
Do you have any actual arguments? So far you are not really contributing to the discussion at all.
Argument: your US chauvinism is unjustified and you should probably justify it. Otherwise, you're wasting everyone's time with an undeserved smug attitude
Do you want current regime or it's history? Because... Lol if you think that number is 0 for either.
Please, do tell. Current government. If you say Tibet I will die of laughter and then link you a very well-sourced and easy to read academic paper.
Would you mind linking that paper so that i can read it?
Happy to, it's a banger if you're not familiar

I would like to hear your true facts about the current regime
[this space reserved for unfalsifiable anti communist orthodoxy]
How can China be of its current size without invading anyone? When it started, it was just a small patch in central Henan area.
This pedantry is ridiculous, wrong, and annoying. The Han ethnic group that was in a relatively small patch of land ~4,000 years ago is hardly the same thing as the contemporary Westphalian sovereign state known as People's Republic of China, which formed less than a hundred years ago and comprises many ethnicities.
The people of China would not agree with your assertion that China is less than one hundred years old.
I think they would find your pedantry annoying as well.
I'm okay with that.
