And I don't understand how you don't understand. It was a very simple point that was being made - that the US has projected far more violence outside its borders over the last century than China. It's an irrefutable point and, from the perspective of people who live neither inside China or the US and so don't have to worry for themselves about how violent those governments are inside their borders, a very pertinent one.

If you don't include proxy wars fought between China and the US, and you don't include wars where the US came to the aid of allies after intense fighting was already underway, and you don't include wars where the US was retaliating to a direct attack on its soil, then I don't actually believe your assertion to be true.

So it depends how you count.
