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.

let's get it straight, what' is exactly the false claim are you referring to? I never said USA did nothing to China, in fact it helped China a lot.

If you mean "China does not hate US", then check its textbooks and the government propaganda since 1950 until now.

If you mean "American bullets chopped off Chinese soldiers' heads", it goes both ways, are you saying US soldiers are supposed to remain quiet while being ambushed by Chinese soldiers? Or South Korea should just give up when invaded by North Korea? that's why I said who started the war is key. No wonder China is backing up Russia these days, invasion seems justified there.

If you mean "why USA are at Korea", then "Why China was at Korea many times including this time"?

Read history, all things happened for a reason, nobody is innocent.

Korea (now North Korea) was/is an ally of China and requested them there. The push up to Pyongyang was 100% USA taking territory from China. Just as Taliban taking territory in Afghanistan was taking territory from USA.

There was also the Vietnam war where China also supplied arms and soldiers.

I’m not saying China are good, or USA are bad. I’m refuting your claim the USA never did anything to China.

The constant harassment of Chinas border within the taiwan straight is another example. The building of satellite states (south Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Phillipines) surrounding China is another example.

The formation of the quad is another example.

Are you reading the same history as me?

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.
