Well, there’s the military adventurism over claiming other nation’s territorial waters and the reefs and islands therein, and building airfields on them.

There’s also the Korean War, but that was a very long time ago.

As for the talking heads, it is something other than the relentless cowbell of “Trump.”

I’m late to this discussion - I remember one of my Viet Nam vet friends laughing when China invaded Viet Nam in 1979. He said the army of Viet Nam will kick China’s ass out of Viet Nam and Cambodia.

Historians considering the short border war of 1979 between China and Vietnam have long concluded that the Chinese invasion into the north of Vietnam - an attempt to exert some control over Vietnamese expansion in Indochina — was a military failure. Vastly superior Chinese forces were met with determined resistance by a regular Vietnamese force capable of successful guerrilla tactics. The analysis continues that after heavy losses Chinese forces sulkily withdrew back across the border, never to trouble the peace again.
