Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the Chinese Communist Party has portrayed itself as a peace-loving nation besieged by imperialism. However, from the Korean War to Ukraine, from the Himalayas to the South China Sea, historical records reveal a starkly different truth.

Since the end of World War II, the primary engine driving global instability has not been the United States, but the CCP. This is because today's China is a revolutionary regime whose survival depends on an endless struggle against imperialism, territorial conquest of neighboring countries, and deception of world opinion.

Communism is inherently a belligerent ideology. It does not regard peace as a virtue, but merely a temporary pause between wars. Mao Zedong established his regime on the doctrine of "continuing the revolution" and proclaimed that "political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." Like the Soviet Union in the past, the CCP must constantly demonstrate its vitality through conflict and war to maintain its myth of greatness, righteousness, and invincibility. For the CCP, aggression is not the exception, but a necessary condition for its existence.

This is why the most frequently used word by all CCP leaders is "struggle"—struggle against heaven, struggle against earth, struggle against the United States, and struggle against America's "lackeys" such as Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the UK, India, South Korea, the Philippines, Israel, and Taiwan. Without struggle, without the "wolf warrior" mentality, the Communist Party faces an existential crisis, and it will no longer be seen as "glorious, correct, and invincible." Consequently, the CCP's regime, maintained through deception and lies, will become unsustainable. This is why the CCP regime's threat to world peace is not accidental, but inevitable; it is in the CCP's DNA.

It is this inherent requirement of ideology that explains the CCP's unparalleled record of military adventures.

Less than a year after its establishment, the CCP sent millions of Chinese "volunteers" into Korea, transforming a regional war into a global war that claimed millions of lives.

In 1954 and 1958, the CCP shelled the outlying islands of Kinmen and Matsu, initiating decades of military intimidation across the Taiwan Strait. In 1962, China invaded India and seized border territory under the false pretense of "self-defense counterattack."

Just a few years later, bloody clashes erupted between Chinese and Soviet troops along the Ussuri River, nearly triggering a nuclear war between the two communist superpowers. In 1979, Beijing invaded Vietnam, launching a month-long war that resulted in tens of thousands of casualties on both sides.

Since World War II, no major power has initiated so many wars and border conflicts. Yet, for decades, Western mouthpieces of the CCP—from so-called "Friends of China" (FOCs) like Henry Kissinger to today's despicable clowns like Jeffrey Sachs—have repeatedly echoed Beijing's propaganda, claiming that China is uniquely "peace-loving" and "non-expansionist."

This claim falls apart under the most basic historical scrutiny. Every war waged by the CCP, regardless of scale, is not defensive but ideologically driven, intended to assert revolutionary dominance and remind the world that anyone who dares challenge the CCP will pay the price.

Unable to directly confront the powerful United States, the CCP has devised a long-term strategy of "proxy conflicts."

In every major global conflict since the establishment of communist regimes in 1949, Beijing has played the hidden hand, supporting America's enemies and prolonging instability.

The Korean War is a prime example. Without CCP intervention, the Korean War could have ended in months, and the Kim dynasty would have been lost to history. However, Mao's intervention created the North Korean regime of today—a hereditary dictatorship that, for decades, has been supported by the CCP's economic lifeline and has threatened Northeast Asia with nuclear weapons.

The same pattern was repeated in the Vietnam War. Throughout the 1960s and mid-1970s, China provided Hanoi (North Vietnam) with weapons, equipment, and advisors, turning what could have been a limited conflict into a quagmire that drained American resources. Its aim was never Vietnamese freedom, but rather to weaken the United States.

Today, the same strategy continues to operate in a new guise. Beijing's "unlimited partnership" with Moscow has made China the primary driver of Russia's aggression against Ukraine, providing approximately 90% of dual-use components, electronics, and machinery to support Putin's war machine.

Without the support of the CCP, Russia's offensive would have long since crumbled under sanctions and attrition.

In the Middle East, the CCP signed the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement with Iran in 2021, proactively providing Iran with a lifeline of up to $400 billion. This emboldened Tehran to fund Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and other terrorist proxies. The massacre of Israeli civilians on October 7, 2023, was not only a barbaric act of Islamism but also a direct and indirect consequence of Beijing's choice to support and strengthen Iran, the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism.

In Latin America, China's massive financial and military-political support has transformed the Venezuelan regime under Chavez and Maduro into the CCP's largest proxy and regional aggressor in Latin America. It now openly threatens to annex two-thirds of neighboring Guyana, its strategic intent being to create conflict in America's backyard and hinder the US's progress.

Whether it's Caracas, Moscow, Tehran, or Pyongyang, behind every focal point posing a significant threat to international peace today lies the fingerprint of Beijing.

These are not accidental opportunistic events, but a coherent global strategy: to hinder the United States through endless brinkmanship, divert its strategic attention, dismantle the Western alliance system, reshape the international order, normalize dictatorship, and punish democracy.

The CCP's method is to have others fight for it while it profits from the chaos. This is a modern interpretation of Lenin's famous quote, "Capitalists will sell us the ropes we will use to hang them."

The historical record is clear: since 1949, the CCP has launched or secretly instigated more wars than any other country. Its ideology glorifies struggle, its diplomacy deliberately fosters turmoil, and its economy provides sustenance and lifelines for global tyranny.

Despite the often flawed foreign policy of Washington, the United States as a whole remains a force for peace, defending free nations, rebuilding war-ravaged economies, and anchoring the international order on the rule of law and restraint. In contrast, Beijing equates peace with submission and "cooperation" with obedience. Wherever China's influence extends, oppression, conflict, and fear follow.

Look at most of the neighboring countries that have the most dealings with China; which one hasn't been bullied, threatened, and humiliated by the CCP?

The biggest lie of our time is the fallacy promoted by a group of university professors who believe "America is always wrong," short-sighted scholars in think tanks, greedy Wall Street financiers, and Silicon Valley nouveau riche—that the United States is the root of global instability. The truth is, a careful examination of the remnants of contemporary history reveals that the CCP has never ceased its international struggle, whether through direct military intervention, proxy wars, economic coercion, or the export of its ideology.

The CCP is the most destructive and warlike regime on Earth. It controls the world's largest armed force, an army completely subservient to the last truly Marxist-Leninist Communist Party in the world, whose faith is a dogma fundamentally incompatible with true peace.

Until this existential threat is confronted head-on and thoroughly defeated, the world will continue to live under the long shadow cast by Beijing's aggression and strategic deception.
