China only wanted to seize control of western most region of China and in the process chased out the enemies only after China was under constant attacks by the Huns and Turks that controlled the area and used the area as bases to invade China, giving China existential threat. So, it was for Chinas own survival rather than expansion that China had/has to control the western Chinese region. Before that, there were also ethnic Chinese settling in the westernmost part starting about 5000 to 7000 years ago, but the area was not under Chinese central gov control until 2000 years ago.One does not gain such a vast territory without being an aggressor. Chinese expended westwards in their history
China is not the aggressor, the US waged the the trade war, tech war,financial war and all the blockades against China, China hasnt put up any sanctions against American companies so far. Know your facts before you comment on China and make a fool of yourself.Don't you think China is an aggressor at the moment? I mean the economic war and all that. Doesn't it count?
