The problem is group think, arrogance, societal breakdown, racism and complete brainwashing in the so-called western world, where these idiots refuse to see the truth or understand how rapidly the world has changed. A recent PEW poll confirmed the US as the most ignorant country on the planet.
The problem is the some countries take the bait and still choose the declining partner as some savior while display hostility against China. China need to win more alliance for future growth. Its good sometime China flex some real muscle to let fool understand what is reality.
As a Han Chinese I presume you have a better understanding of Chinese culture and largely peaceful nature which the west and the Japanese exploited. The 1949 Mao's Communist revolution reformed China into a disciplined nation of 1.4 billion people and subsequent economic power packing a mega economic and military punch. Just compare China to the Indian chaotic sh1thole next door which the deluded west in trying to prop up as a "counter to China" aka cannon fodder. It is simply a pipe dream. Historically, the Chinese have not been aggressors against other peoples and built the Great Wall to keep the "Barbarians" out not expand.
Yeh, but it did help Vietnam beat China in the border skirmish. Experience matters, we have seen it time and time again. That's why the Western forces couldn't defeat the Taliban. In a direct localised conflict with the US the Chinese could be in for a shock.
Vietnam beat China in border clash is a myth. China intention is to never stay in Vietnam long. Plus due to facing Soviet at north border as priority. Those send to Vietnam for war were all second rated soldiers. PLA when invading Vietnam even reached Vietnam cities of Lang Song, how did we loses the war? We treat Vietnam same as India, short war and withdrawal once motive achieve.
The limited PLA incusrion into Vietnam was a short border skirmish and China had no intention of either occupying any part of Vietnam or even causing infrastructure damage. It was meant to put Vietnam in its place and the message was delivered quite effectively.
Most reputable analysts believe by 2030 the PLA would have exceeded the US and NATO poodles in its capabilities. The US economy is also deadbroke and despite Pentagon losers whining and seeking more money to "counter China" they have no chance as power has shifted to a multi-polar Eurasian front. The US is facing the Confucian "Death of a thousand cuts". Its totally counter-productive delusional aim of "full spectrum domination" is more of an insanity than reality. It is bleeding the declining US economy to oblivion.
China is doing really well and developing well during this time of peace and prosperity so there is no reason to disrupt this momentum. When China gets attacked China will take opportunity to take whatever is necessary all at once.
