    That’s Chinese propaganda. China is the big bully, and unfortunately not only in the Indo-Pacific region. Just today, another so-called ‘live fire drill’ started in the Taiwan Strait.

    China has also seen the biggest military built-up in peace time over the past 30 years. For 2026 alone, China’s official military budget is to be 1.90 trillion yuan (around 250 billion euros), the second largest in the world behind the U.S.

      How is the historical fact that China hasn’t been in any wars for decades Chinese propaganda?

      China’s military buildup is directly in response to U.S and European war mongering and constant wars attacking other nations, as well as being surrounded by U.S. military bases. Every year the U.S and NATO are literally in wars against people thousands of miles away from them but somehow China, a country that hasn’t been in any wars, is a bully? You are literally promoting propaganda by the most destructive forces on the planet
