Nazi policies entailed no less than killing by means of deprivation two thirds of the population in the occupied territories. It's little different.
Take it into today. America's unending WOT. How many Innocents have died or had their lives ruined, their potential stifled. How many doctors, physicists, scientists have died due to the consequences of this unending conflict. Millions.

The west is no better.
Certainly but if trying to find who never have an expansionist policy might be more harder than to find a needle in an haystack? Btw is it racist if we said then native americans or amerindians as we called in the 1980s have some unfriendly rivalry with each other?

Some people were killed for sure. But not thousands. Nobody knows the actual number especially the foreign media.

China's government pretty much always has a whole lot of horrifically disturbing things to hide.

By the way, your propensity to defend absolutely everything terrible that the Chinese government has ever done is causing your mask to slip. You can claim you're not here at the behest of the Chinese government, but you never have anything bad to say about them and even seem to be super-enthused by the massively racist Chinese Manifest Destiny shtick.
Because western media are 100% negative toward China government, with lots of false or exaggerated information. Anyone with a sense of fairness will argue against such propaganda. Otherwise you guys have no chance to see the other perspective at all

In China, however, all the mainstream media are almost 100% pro-government, so I post some negative things on Chinese social media.

So, China is now copying America's Dems and the #MeToo movement?? VERY SCARY, indeed!!

What they always try to avoid also is the circumstances of the episode in favor of the result. There's several different versions of what led up to the incident one of which is a panicked crew onboard an APC that had been hit by a Molotov cocktail running through the crowd. If I was the driver of that APC and that happened I would do the same thing. It's not like a crowd of lunatics is going to have my health as a concern now is it?

Being quarantined like that with a hot Chinese chick, I wouldn't complain.

No it's not hard to find countries without an expansionist policy currently. Brazil, Viet Nam, Russia, Indonesia, Chili, Mexico, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Peru, Japan, Italy, Spain, Portugal and many others.
The US is different, ask the powers that be why we do what we do and the answer you get is "Because we can".
Brazil is a very powerful country in it's neighborhood. They could beat up just about anyone in their part of the world. I don't see them fighting the Argentinian.
