China was of course the aggressor
China was defending it's sovereignty. If America decided to simply start building whatever it wanted in northern Mexico or Russia simply decided to start building whatever it liked in Eastern Ukraine pre2022 I'm sure youd be raving about how terrible it was.
lack of arms pretty much discounts this as military action. These were the equivalent of army engineers, not soldiers.
Except this is nonsense and really shows how little you understand of the situation. The lack of arms is due to the "Agreement Between the Government of the Republic of India and the Government of the People’s Republic of China on Confidence-Building Measures in the Military Field Along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the India-China Border Areas" signed by both countries in 1996.
Once again the points stands
It really doesn't
Of course they have supplied plenty of bombs that were used to kill people, but I digress.
The global south being able to arm itself in the face of the largest most expansive and violent imperial power in history is good actually. Being against all violence equally is simply being for the status quo and the status quo is built on the massive immiseration of and extraction from the global south to the imperial core.
Beating each other to death with clubs makes this all better you see.
Fighting with far less lethal and destructive weapons to settle military disputes is better than bombing and shooting and annihilating entire regions and people's yes.
