I am not sure what you want to say.

This post is about Xi, which took office in 2012. And the aspects initiates my post is about China's recent movement to more openly show off its power.

What's the point of "when they were not doing very well" in this context?

> we're engaged in non peaceful activities

What does this refer to?




I mean, you count China's rise as coinciding with the time just after they were being hostile to their neighbors. A rosy filter to be sure.


I said China's rise is the most peaceful among all super powers in history, I did not say that China's rise will be that it is nice to neighbors.

I also did not count any timing. I just said it's the most peaceful.

Realistically, a super power by definition means it wields more power than others, that definitely means unfriendly behavior to others, especially the neighbors. That's why China uses the word "the Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation", that's both a correct and accurate slogan, and a non-aggressive way of rosy filtering what gonna happen.
