There is nothing wrong with seeing ourselves as internet warriors. However, it should be a consensus that China should never be aggressive to the point of attacking other countries without belligerent provocations.
Instead of recklessly starting an invasion of Southeast Asia, China has to avoid repeating the same mistakes that Germany did during WW1 or Japan during WW2.
An old photo from World War I shows a company of German soldiers getting on the train on their way to the front. On the wall of the car somebody had scribbled: “viel Feind, viel Ehr’” (“The more enemies, the more honor.”
In those days, country after country was declaring war on Germany. The spirit of the graffito reflected the hubris of the supreme commander, Kaiser Wilhelm, who relied on the war plan of the legendary German General Staff. It was indeed an excellent war plan, and as excellent war plans are apt to do, it started going awry right from the beginning.
I'm with you, bro. 古人云,国之虽大,好战必亡(Belligerence certainly fail), 天下虽安,忘战必危。 But red guards addicted to zealotry never get it. Fortunately the CCP's insightful plan is quite balanced. It will never get China contained in the box or lose Taiwan permanently, neither will it cost China's precious peace time. It's even technically peeling Taiwan off America's island chain strategy.
