    Immediately thought of Vietnam and Cambodia. OP really doesn’t know much history… [Edit: I just checked because I wasn’t sure, but China didn’t invade Cambodia as far as I can tell. I knew they invaded Vietnam in support of Cambodia, but I didn’t know whether some of the Sino-Vietnamese battles also took place in Cambodia, and apparently, no.)]

      And OP’s comparison pic is nonsense for more reasons than that. The time ranges are wildly different, it’s counting starting from 1776 for the US, but it starts counting from 1949 for the PRC

        Image says “Has invaded since PRC was founded”, not “is occupying right now”, don’t try to change the terms of the debate when contradicted. You still could’ve made a point that China invaded much fewer countries than the US, but at least try to have an accurate map or the accurate words.

          Portraying minor skirmishes as invasions is the height of dishonesty. Ironic that you would do that while accusing me of being inaccurate.
