Erm, no way dude.
China's way of war is incredibly destructive.
Combined with their poor logistics last century, they killed hundreds of thousands of neighbours for trifling territorial gains - two river islands they failed to hold against the USSR in 1981 (Putin then ceded those in the 2000s), 40% of a Korean mountain in '53, the cratered ruins of one Vietnamese village in 1981. Admittedly the seizure of the (Vietnamese) Paracel Islands in '75 was a better prize. Scarborough Shoal in PH right now is of minimal value, mostly fishing rights.
Agree re Russia, total disagree re China.
In the West, our educators run interference for the CCP for free, and our leaders for favours, but in East Asia people will tell you what they think.
