China is currently at peace and not at war with any country, since our last major conflict in 1979. Instead of making war, China is building infrastructure like roads, railways, highways, bridges, tunnels, powerstations, dams, ports, airports, etc and investing in developing countries like Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and also African countries like Nigeria, Kenya, Chad, Sudan, Ghana, Mozambique, Tanzania, etc.
Whereas the United States is warmonger being involved in Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghan War, Libyan War, Syrian War, Yemen War, etc, even in the 21st century. USA is bombing in those Middle Eastern countries and enacting regime change by cutting off their "heads" (Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, etc) and then installing their own US puppet governments in place. If anything, it sounds like the United States is a threat to global peace and stability.

@crusoerob8550 You said: "We know that you are also suffering under this govt"
What makes you say that? Previously, China was once a dirt-poor, war-torn, starving country similar to India in the past, but fast forward till today, and China has since transformed into the world's 2nd largest economy, the world's factory ("i.e Made-in-China") having the world's 2nd largest R&D spending, protected by the world's largest land army, the People's Liberation Army, funded by the world's 2nd largest military spending. And it's all been achieved under communist party leadership, despite Western MSM constantly denouncing China's success all along.

@andrenogueira5058 China is primarily not an immigrant country like the United States. China has to world's largest population (estimated 1.4 billion) so China has no real need for immigrants. We already have the manpower so our immigration policy is rather strict as a result, only allowing the bare minimum number of immigrants and no more than absolutely necessary. Priority Chinese citizenship is granted to overseas Chinese returning to the homeland, and to foreigners who have something to contribute to China (i.e doctors, lawyers, engineers, scientists, researchers, etc).
Whereas the immigration policy in the U.S is so loose. As long as an immigrant has a family member or relative who's a U.S citizen, they are are themselves elligible to apply for U.S citizenship. That's why are there foreigners who marry Americans for U.S citizenship, so that they can import their families over, much to the disgruntlement of local Americans.

@michaels4255 You said: "神州 Shenzhou Wars are disruptive. Those deaths were mostly due to famine and disease, not from any intent to harm civilians."
The American-Philippine war wouldn't even be necessary had the Americans simply granted the Filipinos independence after the Spanish-American war. Instead, at least 200,000 Filipino civilians were killed as a result of this war, and atrocities and war crimes were committed during the conflict, including torture, mutilation, and executions. In retaliation for Filipino guerrilla warfare tactics, the U.S. carried out reprisals and scorched earth campaigns, and forcibly relocated many civilians to concentration camps, where thousands died.

@andrenogueira5058 In 1958, the Yellow River flooded which coincided with the onset of the Great Leap Forward. In July 1958, the peak discharge of the Yellow River at Huayuankou was 22,300 m3/s (790,000 cu ft/s) with a maximum sediment concentration of 911 kg/m3 (57 lb/cu ft), 14× and 24× their mean annual values, respectively.
The flood water level was so high that it rose up to the top of the levee in several places. This flood affected 741,000 people, submerged over half a million acres of crops (3.04 million mu), and destroyed over 300,000 houses in 1708 villages. It was reported as the most severe flood since 1933.

@andrenogueira5058 Chairman Mao did not murder those people, they starved to death because of the Great Chinese Famine caused by bad weather conditions like flood and drought, causing destruction of crops and resulting in poor harvests and mass starvation. Even Mao himself couldn't control the weather isn't it? And even if he somehow could, he would have wished for fair weather and bountiful harvests, because his objective is to make China strong enough to resist foreign imperialism.
About China's involvement in Vietnam, during the First Indochina War, China supplied and provided the Việt Minh guerrilla forces with almost every kind of crucial and important supplies and material required, such as food (including thousands of tonnes of rice), money, medics and medical aid and supplies, arms and weapons, ammunition and explosives and other types of military equipment. 2,000 military advisors from the PRC and the Soviet Union trained the Việt Minh guerrilla force with the aim of turning it into a full-fledged armed force to fight off their French colonial masters and gain national independence. On top of this, the PRC sent two People's Liberation Army (PLA) artillery battalions to help the Vietnamese fight for independence.
From 1950 to 1954 the Chinese government shipped goods, materials, and medicine worth $43 billion (in 2019 dollars) to Vietnam. From 1950 to 1956 the Chinese government shipped 155,000 small arms, 58 million rounds of ammunition, 4,630 artillery pieces, 1,080,000 artillery shells, 840,000 hand grenades, 1,400,000 uniforms, 1,200 vehicles, 14,000 tons of food, and 26,000 tons of fuel to Vietnam.

@YakuzaSRC I find that the mentality of many Indians (but not all) tends to get very emotional when China and Chinese are mentioned. For example, the statement that "Anything China claims as it's own, must be theirs..." could just as well apply to India. After all, if India can claim Goa, Manipur, Sikkim, Nagaland, Jammu & Kashmir as part of Indian territory historically, then likewise, can't China do to the same for Chinese territories like Tibet, Xinjiang, Hong Kong, even the Donglang Plateau? We even have the treaties as proof.

@YakuzaSRC Backstabbing? It was Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai that had formulated The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence (和平共处五项原则) to define China-India relations and which formed the basis of the Panchsheel Agreement. But in 1959, the 14th Dalai Lama led a failed rebellion in Tibet and fled to India, the Indian PM Nehru choose to provide asylum to him instead of handling him over back to China. This created suspicion in China towards India's motives regarding Tibet.
About the events leading up to the 1962 Sino-Indian War, not only did India provide shelter to Chinese fugitive, the Dalai Lama, but Chinese government had proposed settling our border disputes diplomatically, but the Indian PM Nehru would have none of it. Instead Nehru pursued his aggressive Forward Policy of building military outposts at our disputed border, even going beyond the internationally recognized line. There were eventually 60 of such outposts, including 43 beyond the line and on actual Chinese territory. In the end, China had no choice but to react militarily to defend our sovereignty against Indian invaders entering Chinese territory.
You said: "Most Indian now have innate dislike for the Communist system of government."
Because the Indian Media try to downplay Nehru's aggressive Forward Policy of building military outposts at our disputed border (and on actual Chinese territory)_ while taking credit for "Hindi Chini Bhai Bhai" when it was derived from Zhou Enlai's Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, while neglecting to mention China's numerous attempts to settle our border dispute diplomatically. Yet when Chinese workers build a road on Chinese territory in Donglong, the Indian Army rushed in to block Chinese road construction in our own territory.

@andrenogueira5058 About the "continuous threats on Taiwan" well, the Republic of China 🇹🇼 (1912-1949) lost the mainland to the _People's Republic of China 🇨🇳 and had to flee to Taiwan, and even till today, Taiwan still maintains the claim that all of mainland China (including Tibet, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Manchuria, etc) are all part of their territory, including territory currently under the control of Mongolia, Myanmar, Bhutan, India, Japan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Russia and Tajikistan.
Source: Wikipedia: ROC Administrative and Claims
So since Taiwan can claim all of mainland China, then can't mainland China claim Taiwan as well? As long as Taiwan doesn't declare independence, the mainland will not resort to use of the military option in our reunification attempts

@emilianopimentel4076 "神州 Shenzhou that's because you keep stealing our ideas and keep spying on us,"
The U.S stole intellectual property from the U.K. During the 19th century, America was a hotbed of literary piracy and American factories turned out adulterated foods and willfully mislabeled products. Charles Dickens visited the U.S in 1842 and when he first stepped off the boat in Boston, he found the city's bookstores rife with pirated copies of his novels, along with those of his countrymen, and was appalled.
American manufacturers, distributors, and vendors of food began tampering with their products en masse -- bulking out supplies with cheap filler, using dangerous additives to mask spoilage or to give foodstuffs a more appealing color. Candy was found to contain arsenic and dyed with copper chloride; conniving brewers mixed extracts of "nux vomica," a tree that yields strychnine, to simulate the bitter taste of hops. Pickles contained copper sulphate, and custard powders yielded traces of lead. Sugar was blended with plaster of Paris, as was flour. Milk had been watered down, then bulked up with chalk and sheep's brains.
Food, of course, was only the beginning. In the literary realm, for most of the 19th century the United States remained an outlaw in the world of international copyright. The nation's publishers merrily pirated books without permission, and without paying the authors or original publishers a dime. In one industry after another, 19th-century American producers churned out counterfeit products in remarkable quantities, slapping fake labels on locally made knockoffs of foreign ales, wines, gloves, and thread.

@user-bp3ou2dq2q "But the cost would be the destruction of the island,"
The mainland does not intent to nuke Taiwan (that would be insane and serves no real purpose). A possible scenario is the People's Liberation Army learning a thing or two from the Russian special military operation, and focusing on demilitarizing Taiwan, targeting their airbases and military facilities first.
"Tech shock for China"
There would be an initial disruption to Taiwan's chipmaking industry. But once Taiwan is fully reunified with the mainland, the mainland would probably gain full access Taiwan's chips once production resumes. In fact, Taiwan exporting of chips to the mainland would probably be better streamlined and simplified after reunification.
"economic shock (global sanctions)"
Global as in the entire world? Probably the West would slap sanctions on China (as they did for Russia) but as for the developing world (i.e South America, Africa, Middle East, etc) they might still continue doing business with China. We shouldn't think of the West (which only represents 14% of the global population) as the entire world.
"political cost"
Indeed Chinese wouldn't be comfortable killing our brothers and sisters in Taiwan, but the mainland resolve to see Taiwan reunified with the mainland is strong. Additionally, if reunification is successful, it would show off the capabilities of the People's Liberation Army, and finally the West would get the message that China is not to be trifled with. With so many media claiming that China's Army is untested in combat, the successful reunification with Taiwan would be prove them wrong, and provide a boost to PLA's reputation a miltary force.
But in the end, I share your opinion that such an outcome is not preferable for either Taiwan or the mainland. Hopefully the people in Taiwan realized that U.S is merely stoking separatist activity in the island and using the island as a chess piece to contain the mainland's rise.
