Description:

False. As attested by a number of experts and published authors on modern Chinese history, the claim in Kim Dotcom’s tweet that modern China has initiated zero conflicts is false.

The People’s Republic of China has started a number of conflicts, trained revolutionaries, and contributed to other conflicts in Asia. It appears that the “no conflicts” claim was made by Xi Jinping in 2021.
