Right, USA also wage this war, and also wars on terror and drugs, but USA are on the side of poverty, terror and drugs.
@yogthos Ummm... What about Tibet and Taiwan? Do we count civil wars? Could we also ask the indians (1962), the vietnamese (1979), and russians (various border disputes during soviet era).
Taiwan is literally a province of China last I checked. Meanwhile, very brave of you to support slavery.

@yogthos even if we exclude that conflict as a civil war. Thats not addressing the other examples. Reducing Tibet to the Dalai Lama also seems somewhat inappropriate.

Agreed. It is indeed extremely inappropriate to reduce Tibet to the Dalai Lama and his fellow feudal theocrats. Which is why we don't consider the conflict waged against that tiny ruling elite to be an aggression against Tibet as a whole. It's why we celebrate the liberation of the overwhelming majority of regular Tibetans from feudal serfdom as the liberation of Tibet, because it is they who truly represent Tibet, and not the former ruling caste.
@cfgaussian say I grant the violent incursion on tibetan land as "liberation" (which I do not), that would still leave the Sino-Indian and Sino-Vietnamese wars. Or do we redefine those away on a technicality as well? Were they maybe not long enough? I dont ask you to defend western imperialism. Its inexcusable. I do ask you to see the PRC for what it is, which includes its flaws and mistakes.

So you love slavery. Good start.
that would still leave the Sino-Indian
India dicked around, China put them to their place and the war ended in extremely amicable terms.
Sino-Vietnamese wars
There was one (1), so no "wars"(plural), a war(singular). It was a limited border conflict because Vietnam and the PRC ended on different sides of the the Sino-Soviet split.
Were they maybe not long enough?
They happened before the timframe covered by the picture. Tibet happend under Mao, as did the Sino-Indian one. The war against Vietnam happened under Deng. The timeframe covered by the pic is post-Deng. Since then the PRC did, factually, not wage any war.
My god, both occured before the time frame explicitly stated in the image.
It was indeed liberation. Otherwise you should say you support the slave-like feudal society.
Biden didn't just arm Ukraine, he basically directly involved the US in that conflict. By giving satellite intel, targeting data, planning for offensives and routes to avoid AD, logistics, training, virtually everything came from the Americans and the Europeans except for the bodies thrown into the combat. Even to call it a proxy war is almost an understatement. And Trump is continuing to do the exact same.
Same for enabling the Gaza genocide. They don't just give bombs and weapon systems. The US and Europeans all fly spy planes over Gaza and use their satellites to give the Zionist entity intel that enables them to target doctors and journalists, strike hospitals, food and water supplies, and commit countless other war crimes. This is their genocide as much as it is the "Israelis'".
