‘As I See It: When the US invades and occupies other nations, killing and wounding millions it's always done in pursuit of its "national security." It seems the US can do so with impunity.

But when China invokes national security to quell foreign supported insurrection in its own territory it is censured and sanctions are imposed.

When the US bans Chinese apps and social media it is done in the name of national security. When China bans US social media to protect its national security it's an infringement of freedom and free market access.

When the US jails dissidents like Chelsea Manning it's done in the name of national security. When China detains a dissident it's a violation of human rights.

When the US oppresses its minorities it's excused as a flaw that needs to be addressed after centuries of neglect. Any resistance by the oppressed is seen as a threat to national security. When China seeks to alleviate the poverty of its minorities it is called genocide.

When the US spends hundreds of billions of dollars on its war budget it's done in the name of national security. When China builds up its defense forces it's called aggressive.

It seems that the US can do as it pleases in the name of it's own national security but China has no right to do the same.’

P/S  What ever the western countries claim against China please look at the mirror yourself before making any unfair judgement against your opponent – China. 

We should not surprise that wars are created to control people.   

China has never invaded any country compared to other dominant countries like US, Japan, German, Russia etc.  
Until all leaders are working together for the good of humanity but not for power only then we as a nation will be in peace.
