are very different

throughout china history it's dominated by sheep culture, except qin, part tang and mongol eras. always focus on domestic issues, focus on enemies within than outsiders. cixi summarized well "rather give to foreigners than my slaves".

nowadays this culture still holds well. xi (and ccp) is mostly interested in holding on to his power. despite all those accused by america and allies, china has no serious military plans to solve any issues: tw, diaoyu, himalaya border , south sea... you name it.

fact is fact. 20 Indian soldiers killed in 2020 (the biggest foreign policy mistake of china in my view), before that one has to go back to around 1990, some Vietnamese killed by chinese soldiers, at least that's the official record, in between 30 years china soldiers killed no foreigners.

how many killed by americans?

thta's the biggest difference between this new cold war and the old one. china is no wolf, if china dislike someone, then the attitude is i don't play with you anymore. think lithunia.

well for america, it's i must change you.

that's why china will get more and more friends in the future. any1 can dislike china or ccp, but don't have to fear. china is no soviet union.
