The same thing that's made china not have an overt military conflict for the past half century: they're not a militaristic, expansionist country.

Uh..

The Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia all disagree..

India disagrees.

Nepal disagrees.

Bhutan disagrees.

I could keep going but my train is almost at my stop. China tries their best to keep their conflicts on the quiet-side to prevent sanctions like the west did to Russia.

Thank you for proving me right by bringing as your utmost evidence BBC (the unbiased source that uses the grey "China filter" on videos) reports that "some countries are purportedly sad because of a map". Really, very telling that that's the best you've got. In the meanwhile, NATO bombed Yugoslavia and Libya, and the US outright invaded Iraq and Afghanistan to name just a select few.

You guys are unbelievable.

"Your evidence is overwhelming, so I will point out what I don't like about one source, ignore all others, and then try to use whataboutism to further bury myself in this hole I've created ."

"your evidence is overwhelming"

I explicitly said that all your sources are "western-biased source reports that some government official of a bordering country cries at slight border tensions". By that logic, Spain is a hugely militaristic, imperialist and expansionist regime:

I wasn't doing whataboutism, I was bringing real examples of militarism as opposed to literal news cuts of government officials crying at maps that you provided as "overwhelming evidence".
