Nice argument, can you back it up with a source?
NATOpedia says "nearly 400 military interventions" for the US, listing this as the source.
China's is likely referring to the Korean war or the Vietnam war. So it should probably be 2 ig, though for Korea China was firmly on the right side of history.

I like how this has a table of many wars and their outcomes but I commend you for actually giving a source Edit: I didn't check if they initiated the conflicts, so the source might actually prove your point kinda right but I'm lazy
You know what? Most liberals wouldn't even have acknowledged that much, you have my upvote.
People have already answered, but consider also that the US has over 750 overseas military bases around the world, and is building more to further encircle China. Meanwhile China has one anti-piracy base in Djibouti.
