the difference is in why they're bombing and what they're bombing -- nato/ukraine are bombing the same way the us is bombing iran.

And yet China manages to take the high road with Taiwan, Japan, India, etc.

China is the factory of the world, and even then they're constantly told they're bad, and that they should be destroyed, etc. The difference is that they're the most industrialized and well organized country out there so they can call the bluff.

Yes and that is a winning strategy. As another ml account highlighted, war with the global north did not end well for the USSR, which comparatively speaking was much more a peer in terms of power than the current Russia. China's strategy is the one that recognizes that the tactics available flow down stream from material conditions.
