@anonsaccount1562 China today is currently at peace at not at war with any country, since our last major conflict in 1979. Instead of making war, China is investing in developing countries like Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and also African countries like Nigeria, Kenya, Chad, Sudan, Ghana, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, etc. Nobody is pointing a gun at those countries and forcing them to do business with China if they don't want to.
Whereas the United States is warmonger, being involved in Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghan War, Libyan War, Syrian War, etc, even in the 21st century. The US is enacting regime change by cutting off those country's "heads" (Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, etc) and then installing their own US puppet governments in place. Now, Assad of Syria and Maduro of Venezuela are at risk and President Trump narrowly avoided starting a fresh war with Iran too.

@woa2193 How is China a threat to democracy? 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 looks like the United States is the real threat to global peace and stability here.

@eltyjamessmith3482 So because of a border dispute with India, China is somehow wrong? China has settled boundary dispute approximately of 20,000 km with 12 countries out of the 22,000 km and is yet to settle about 2,000 km of boundary involving India and Bhutan.
-In 1961, Nepal and China signed border agreement.
-In 1962, Mongolia and China signed border agreement.
-In 1963, Afghanistan and China signed border agreement.
-In 1963, Pakistan and China signed border agreement.
-In 1991, USSR and China signed Sino-Soviet border agreement.
-In 1992, Laos and China signed border agreement.
-In 1994, Kazakhstan and China signed border agreement.
-In 2011, Tajikistan ratified a 1999 deal with China.
We solved our border disputes with literally all our land neighbors, only Bhutan and India remain. China has 21 talks with Bhutan and 19 talks with India, but still fail to settle our countries borders. Who's fault is it?
Regarding Taiwan, the Nationalist Kuomintang lost the mainland to communists and had flee to Formosa (Taiwan). During the Chinese Civil War, the communists were mostly poorly trained peasants, their weapons were crappy, and they had far fewer numbers (only 50 communist members in 1921) over the KMT. The KMT on the other hand, had massive wealth (they taxed the peasants heavily) they had superior weapons, better training and superior numbers over the communists.
Yet despite all these advantages, the KMT still lost the mainland to communists and had to flee to Taiwan? This demonstrates KMT's sheer incompetence in their right to rule the mainland.

@vibemunster India, Pakistan and Bangladesh were once part of British India, so aren't they clearly British colonies? And why India willingly gave up its own territory to allow Britain to partition its country into two sovereign countries? India even supported Bangladesh independence from East Pakistan, resulting in increased suspicion from Pakistan and also the creation of another independence country, Bangladesh.
Each division only weakens the once powerful unified country, and India and Pakistan have been fighting each other for decades, and all the while the British are secretly laughing at what they done to the once unified British India. That's why China fight desperately to hold on to our territories in Tibet, Xinjiang, Hong Kong, etc, because we don't want to end up like India and Pakistan, brother states that oppose each other.
And British colonies in Africa aren't doing well either, so again, how is this proof that Britain put Hong Kong and Singapore on the international level, when it failed to do the same to its other colonies?

@MrPakurfulo Studies have shown that Chinese people (also other Asians like Japanese, Koreans) are among the most intelligent and diligent peoples with long histories and rich cultures. Asian people often typically stereotyped as smart, industrious, studious, thrifty, good at math, good at science, good at programming, having a good head for business and finances. Stereotypical Asian blue-collar jobs often have an element of hard work to them, and include railroad construction workers, labourers (coolies), farmers, grocery stall owner, rickshaw drivers, chefs (of Chinese restaurants), dry cleaners, laundromat workers, nail salon workers, massage parlour workers, and so on. Poor Asian parents are usually thrifty and painstakingly save up money to send our kids to school. Asian kids study hard for exams and don't fool around through partying and drinking and when they graduate, they often take on white-collar jobs like doctors, lawyers, dentists, bankers, scientists, researchers, programmers, businessmen, and so on.
Of course, these are all just stereotypes and not every Chinese person is like that. But the fact that these stereotypes exist suggests that there must be an element of truth to these stereotypes.

@Danish Khan Over 70 years ago, nobody ever thought "communist" China would ever succeed, or that China would ever play a prominent role in today's history. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1990s, everyone expected China would soon follow. But China has consistently defied all expectations of imminent failure, and succeeded long after the USSR dissolution. The Chinese Communist Party is not perfect (then again, which government body is?) but despite its initial failures and setbacks, under its leadership, China's population doubled, our lifespans doubled, our literacy rates doubled and our poverty rates plummeted.
This graph shows life-expectencies across China, India, Europe and USA.
Life Expectancy at Birth in China, Europe, USA and India china-profile.com/data/fig_WPP2010_L0_Boths.htm
China was once dirt-poor, war-torn, starving country, similar to India (world's largest democracy) in the past, but today, China has since transformed into world's 2nd largest economy, the world's factory (Made in China), the world's 3rd largest arms exporter, having world's 2nd highest R&D spending, protected by world's largest land army, the People's Liberation Army and funded by world's 2nd highest military expenditure. And China today has strong global presence as well being influential player of world politics.
And its all achieved under the CCP leadership, despite decades of Westerners fully expecting China to fail, China has continually succeeded, so why continue to believe those biased Westerners views about China?

+Xentradi97 About China's one-party system, at least with such a system the party can remain in power and concentrate on making long-term plans for China. The CCP has made many 5-year plans, 10-year plans, 15-year plans, 20-year plans to map out China's future in 2020, 2030, 2040, 2050, etc and to set specific goals to achieve by then. Furthermore, CCP abolished the presidential term limit, so that the president can remain in power to see his plans to fruition.
But in US two-party systems, the two parties constant fight one another instead of for America's future, and each side blames the other for all of America's woes. The US president can only make short-term plans, because after 4-8 years, he will be forced to step down after his presidential term ends. Making long-term plans spanning 10 or more years is simply impossible for USA.
Where do you imagine USA will be in 10 years time? How about 20 years into the future? You can't tell, because US presidents will have to step down and hand the reins to the next US president. What if the next US president starts cancelling/reversing the previous president's reforms?

@jayshon1348 Why are you comparing China to Nazis? China today is currently at peace and not at war with any country, since our last major conflict in 1979. Instead of making war, China is investing in developing countries like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and also African countries like Chad, Sudan, Nigeria, Kenya, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Ghana, etc.
Whereas the United States is warmonger, being involved in Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghan War, Syrian War, Libyan War, etc, even in the 21st century. The USA is bombing those countries (Iraq Body Count Project reported some 200,000 Iraqi civilian casualties) and enacting regime change by cutting off those country's "heads" (Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, etc) and then installing their own US puppet governments in place. Trump just narrowly avoided starting a fresh war with Iran.
