@alainw77 "they invaded tibet and xinjiang in the 1950s" Tibet and Xinjiang has been part of China for longer than USA was even a country. "they helped north korea try to take over south korea in the korean war" No. China was not part of the Korean war until the US and its allies helped SK invade the North. "and they invaded vietnam in 1979" A simple google search will have you realise that there was a multitude of reasons. Biggest one imo is because of Vietnams claim to the spratly islands that China also claims in the SCS.

@feiyangzheng9288 Xinjiang, Tibet, and Taiwan has been part of China for longer than USA has been a country. Just look at Qing Dynasty map and when they where incorporated into China

@bapao83 Context is important. What was the previous sentence? Probably along the lines of peaceful reunification blah blah blah, but we will not hesitate to use force if Taiwan declares independence or foreign forces intervenes.

@blueyboyEX "Hey I'm not the one sending fighter jets at Taiwan" Why dont you google the flight path. It didnt even fly towards Taiwan... Also, half of Taiwans own Air Defence Zone is in China...

@alainw77 "maybe you should look at historic maps of china, both tibet and xinjiang were independent states for most of the time ever since the qin dynasty" Why you looking a map from Qin dynasty? A dynasty from over 2000 years ago? Based on your logic, USA and CA shouldnt rule North America because their map didnt cover North America for most of the 2000 years right? "the only time xinjiang was conquered was during the tang, yuan and qing dynasties and those last two weren’t even han people" Since when was sovereignty over a piece of land was based on ones ethnicity? "After the qing dynasty fell, both tibet and xinjiang regained their independence" Wrong. After Qing Dynasty fell, there was a legal transfer of sovereignty of its to Republic of China. Any so-called "independence" were in fact illegal, thus therefore not valid. "North Korea invaded south korea first with stalin’s blessing and he asked china to help them when things turned bad for north korea when US went to help south korea" Sure, but you said it out of context and made it sound like China helped NK invade SK, when in fact it was alone NK that invaded SK. China only came into the picture when NK was being invaded by SK when SK called for US and its allies to almost fully invade NK. "And it was the United Nations who voted to defend south korea with the US being in command" For the vote, China was not there, and Russia was also not there. The UN was basically ruled by US and its allies then. So of course the US would favour themselves. No third party should ever intervene in a civil war. This mistake involving the world in a civil war shouldnt ever have happened. "China invaded Vietnam in response to vietnam invading cambodia because the khmer rouge were allies of china" There was a multitude of reason like I said, but that was the tipping point. Also, Chinas invasion was a warning to Vietnam - if you can unilaterally invade another country in our backyard, so can we. China has not invaded any country out of nowhere.
