Why does no country complain US of "over production of weapons"?

through out history malaysia or malaya trade with china for more than 2000 years, never once did china invade malaysia. China knows that malaysia is resource rich.

well, how about other countries that found out malaysia is resource rich? like the britsh, portugal, japan? all of them invaded malaysia.

how many countries did US invaded due to it oil?

through the last 100 years, there was only one invasion initiated by china.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Vietname...pon%20in%201999.
China launched an offensive ostensibly in response to Vietnam's invasion and occupation of Cambodia in 1978, which ended the rule of the Khmer Rouge. The conflict lasted for about a month, with China withdrawing its troops in March 1979.

it was not for resource or land grab.

if you look through history, china was previously a dominant power in the world, so much so that the country gdp was 30% of world gpd. No other country came close, did they try to invade other country? No. Did they invade japan (even when japan is so nearby) even when china was much much larger than china today? No.

Did japan invade china? yes. did japan invade malaysia? yes.

if you want to worry, malaysian should be more worry about japan than china.

i am quoting out of history and current statistics. history shows that china is not an invading nature. Attempt to invade and invade and cause death are totally different.

over thounds of years and china is definitely can be considered non invading force compare to other nations.

Just stating facts also biased. you have to be rational during a conversation, other than name calling.

well, how many countries did japan actually invaded?

through out history, compare japan, US, british, portugal, netherland, france, spain, germany, Russia, belgium, israel to china.

similarly, both china and malaysia are victim of western invasion and japan invasion.

if i want to worry about china invading malaysia, i should be more worried about japan, Britsh, portugal, dutch, thailand or indonesia.
