The regime in Beijing has its hands drenched in the blood of millions. Mao, still revered by the CCP, was literally one of the most genocidal rulers in Human history right along with Hitler and Stalin.
Why would China expand?
Why would China seek power?
Why would they backstab democracies with industrial espionage, sabotage, assassinations? Even bioweapons wouldn't be beyond them.
It's what fucking totalitarian regimes do.
They will always seek to blot out democracy, because in the long run both types of government cannot coexist. If the Chinese are playing nice it's only because they are biding their time and getting stronger with the current statu quo.
They are still ruled by a Communist party with the express intent of wiping out Western democracy and our way of life.
It boggles my mind China was allowed to become the #1 industrial power on the back of Western free trade, technology and investment while the Soviet Union was public enemy number one.
