China is invading countries quietly by investing in their infrastructure, waiting until they fall into debt and then claiming parts of the country. (i.e. Sri Lanka and Hambantota's 99 year lease)
America bombs countries to smithereens for no reason, resulting in hundreds of terror cells who want to bomb us back.
Who is, objectively, worse for us in little ol' NZ/Aus? (of course, China are also currently committing mass Uyghur brainwashing so...)
