Do you not know there are non-combat positions!?

Hey, I totally get you are on China's side, but denying they were the aggressor is a little pathetic.

Stop trying to fabricate a military action. It is silly, why do you think they fought with clubs. Denialism doesn't look good. Also they did have arms, but they were not armed with guns initially because it was never a combat operation.

The point doesn't stand? Are you providing evidence China has dropped bombs in the last fifty years. I am all ears.

I do take offense with your hand waving away China providing arms through their industrial military complex. These weapons frequently end up on both sides of a conflict and cause needless destruction and suffering.

Also the optics of doing this in Africa are disturbing to say the least. It would almost be better if they were directly selling weapon system to Russia instead of just clandestinely providing Intel, logistics, troops, training, etc. Then it would at least look like they were impartially providing weapons of destruction used to kill civilians.

Pretending this is merely a battle over imperialist nations is a disservice to what is really going on. Pretending China is not engaging in imperialist behavior by being an arms dealer is also disingenuous.

There is no doubt the the US is the most destructive nation in history and has corrupted the entire world including China. This is reality.

I appreciate your recognition that there is no need for escalation. Truly India and China are some of the more traditionally peaceful nations and due to smart negotiations limited their militarization of the border. What is disturbing is what happened. How much stress these humans must be put through to cause this behavior.

it is clear to me China is turning into a destructive force with their proliferation of their military industrial complex. This isn't the West versus the East or the global North versus the South this is simply a corporation making money from human suffering.
