Let’s note only USA has been at war most of its existence. Not that I trust China atm. I trust USA less.
OK, let's note that.
Let's also note, not to be too pedantic, that is an incredibly western-centric view of the world and also I believe it is not true. By a factor of about 10.
The PRC has been at war for 100% of its existence. Mainly with itself in Taiwan / Taipei, but also with others.
If you claim China isn't PRC and that it includes China before 1949, then even all those other versions of China has been at war almost continuously for about 2,000 years, and most of that time with themselves.
USA is only about 230 years of war, although you could probably drag that out to about 400 years if you included pre-independence declaration / federation as the USA and called quasi-state civilian uprisings as war.
The USA has fought wars under the premise of upholding or promoting democracy and political choice for people.
China has fought wars under the premise of suppressing democracy and political choice for people.
I'm not saying one is better than the other. But I am saying you can't claim one has happened and the other hasn't.
