China is beyond self-serving. It's mindset is confrontational, it's history is replete with instances of occupation of other peoples lands (Mongolia, Tibet, etc.).

It is politically very unstable, so it has to periodically create crises, to whip up nationalism and keep it's population in control.

Damn your right, the US is very stable. And the US made 10 times more regions unstable than China could ever do.

If you exchange China to US, and Mongolia/Tibet to Middle East and South America your sentence matches perfectly too.
