Read some history books and with an open mind. Or just some Wikipedia articles if thatās not asking too much. China has existed for more than 2000 years (although borders has probably changed over the centuries as borders do). Iām talking about the culture and people that defined the country. With the exception of the last century or so, that people and culture have been the most civilized for many, many centuries and without engaging in wars on the other side of the world.
Taiwan is to China what Cuba is to the US. End of story. How did the US react when Soviet was putting missiles on Cuba?
Have a look at this and tell me who should feel most threatened:

US has over the past decades put military bases as close as possible to both China and Russia, basically surrounding them.
Surely China has invaded other countries and so have Russia. They have invaded countries that they share a border with. And so has practically every other country in the world. I do not try to justify that - wars are horrible whoever is starting them. But you donāt see them repeatedly starting wars or destabilizing governments on the other side of the world just because they donāt like whoās in charge.
