which was reacting to China's Boxers killing foreigners esp religious people like wild fire. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-Nation_Alliance.

After the invasion USA returned the "Boxer Protocol" money to create the best univ in China https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Tsinghua_University

Not to mention US helped China to fight Japan, and build hospitals,etc. US never took an inch territory from China when it had the power to do that.

Russia on the other hand took a huge chunk territory from China and invaded and killed countless Chinese, but, China loves Russia while always hated US, I could never figure out why.

China doesn't hate the US. Where did you see the hate? It also doesn't love Russia... I'm confused.

Also the Korean War happened. American bullets chopping up thousands of Chinese... it happened.

read true history how Korea war started. and no, USA army did not enter China, they were surprised to be ambushed by Chinese soldiers there out from nowhere, then both started killing. china "volunteered" to start killing Americans first in Korea and USA never even entered china.
Why was the USA Army in Korea?

I didn't say who started it, nor is that really important, but there was the claim US had never done anything to China... it's not true.

why,who started is crucial to any war. also,china sent troops to Korea many times over history to fight why was it in korea again and again?

and here is how the war started:

historically countries all had conflicts and wars, if that's where you're going for "USA did something to China", you can list what they exactly did. While you do that, please do not forget, Chinese killed each other over history and it's probably 1 million times more than whatever the western alliance did together. Not an excuse for any sides, history is just sad and bloody, but focusing on blaming other countries is barking the wrong tree, for the most part.

I was just refuting the false claim. The whataboutism you're engaging in doesn't change the falsity.
McArthur also wanted to nuke Manchuria and poison the ground from the Sea of Japan to the Yellow Sea with radioactive cobalt to create a DMZ which the enemy could not cross. He was relieved by President Truman.

Russia wanted nuke china back to stone age, it probably made it had US not helped to stop it. history is full of "wanted"s
It's good to notice when your model of the world makes incorrect predictions.
