The “Chinese-American Cold War” best shows American belligerence.
At least during the American-Soviet Cold War even though America started it and were the bad guys the Soviet Union at least participated in it by backing communist rebellions and doing military intervention. China doesn’t do any of that, the population of China doesn’t even really care about communism that much, they simply just think that their system works for them and want to continue it and are indifferent to other countries. And America will never stop trying to attack them for that. The only countries sovereignty that China has violated post Cold War is Taiwan and the Philippines which are American vassal state to begin with.
