China said the United States is the “biggest disruptor of regional peace and stability” in the world in a scathing response Wednesday to a Pentagon report on China’s growing military buildup.
The annual report that is required by Congress is one way the Pentagon measures the military capabilities of China, which the U.S. government sees as its key threat in the Asia-Pacific region and America’s primary long-term security challenge.
The statement China’s Ministry of Defense issued in response called the Pentagon report’s findings false and used it in turn to hit back at the U.S.’ recent actions in helping Israel and Ukraine, as well as its buildup of military installations worldwide.

As aggressive as the US is, they don’t regularly traipse over their own neighbour’s borders to attack them.
China on the other hand, Tibet, India, Vietnam, … and most of their disputes aren’t even settled or beyond dispute yet.
Verdict, China can’t manage stable borders and do away with further disputes.
Point out a country that the US has hostilities with that isn’t destabilizing or in a border dispute?
(Disclaimer, we don’t have to like America to point out the obvious.)
I assume you don’t know much about the US’s interference in Latin America.
Like China sucks, but they’re not wrong when they say the US is the most destabilising influence in world politics.
They are, infact, wrong to think that Russia threatening to send in nukes if it’s not allowed to do a Genocide and starve Africa is less disruptive than the atrocities committed by Washington upon the southern continent.
If we’re not restricting their activities to regular incursions in their immediate neighbours then I think it’s fair to say the US has perpetrated more disastrous invasions in every continent on earth than any other. If you count proxy wars then it gets worse.
Going into disasters and it being a disaster are the same thing. I’m not irresolute on the matter, but clearer identification of wrongdoing shouldn’t involve a number of villains destabilizing everything.
Ho Chi Minh, had a clear mandate before the US entered, and should have been welcome to expel the French (who allied with Japan). Now, sovereignty is resolved and all borders and diplomacy are entirely respected by the US. They’re practically an ally these days. The US performed like absolute crap in the war, but now they encourage the sovereignty of the Vietnamese people.
Does China learn lessons like that? Ho Chi Minh’s cadre also had to say no to China, and if it wasn’t for Russia that could have ended worse. And it’s still not resolved. China barely understands foreign sovereignty.
(Ahh, I don’t want to stick up for the US position!)
