the chinese might not have destroyed our democracy for corporate interests, but they are the ones who kill people for thinking different, and are the ones who invade other countries because of "reasons",

The People's Republic of China has never invaded a foreign country in it's history, with the exception of Vietnam, and minor participation in anti-terror operations - alongside NATO - in Mali and Somalia.

The idea of China as a territorially expansionist, politically interventionist power is a myth. These are both directly against Chinese foreign policy; what their foreign policy actually is in writing and practice is to build trust and economic codependency with the de facto governments of anyone who will have them.

China does have occupation issues most famously with Tibet, Hong Kong, Taiwan (Republic of China) and other problematic situations

Kinda like Russia "not-invaded" (lol) but occupied Crimea in 2014.

(in addition to the whole situation of the residents under the regime but that's digressing)

Fair enough, thanks for the clarification
