  If they want to be similar to the US  they need to invade someone to prove their complete disregard for the sovereignity of weaker, non-submissive countries. Until that happens, such comparisons are idiotic and entirely speculative. Facts show China aims to be a very different sort of global superpower than the US.

  What's your point? >
  
  I wouldn't say the US is as bad as Russia but you are right, we definitely have our flaws. >

  Basically what you're saying is that you want China to be like the US and invade others? >
  
  Well China continues to build a force of assault carriers and continues to improve their amphibious capability, so what else could they possibly be building up their forces for if not an invasion of Taiwan?
  If their military was purely interested self-defense, it would look more like Europe or Japan. Instead, they are increasingly invested in power projection and war fighting, similar to the force structure of the U.S. >
  
  China is surrounded by vassal states of the US like Japan and South Korea, one of them is an archipielago and the other is a peninsula, both full of US military bases. Could this possibly explain why they invest heavily in their amphibious capability? >
  
  Could it? It could. 
  But hostile US sentiment to China was not pre-determined at the times those bases were constructed and mutual-defense treaties were signed. It was hoped that through open markets and free trade that China would liberalize and become more democratic, more inclusive, more Western. China was on this track, or at least on less aggressive path, until Xi. 
  Up until Xi, US-China relations were not nearly as cold as they are now.
  And what is the logic implying that they are building up their military in response to US bases and “vassal” states? Japan and Korea are not US vassals, despite what idiotic nationalists may say. Are they going to defend themselves by invading and destroying these bases? If that was the case, why the focus on amphibious assault?
  They are clearly modeling themselves to be similar to the US military. Capable of projecting force overseas and defending overseas interests. The carriers and assault carriers aren’t for show, they’re in order to project force.
