China has killed maybe 50 people outside its borders since 2000. The US has killed 100,000-250,000 in that time period. I know which one Id be more worried about as a third party.

Talking like a true ignorant.

Great Leap Forward killed 15 to 55 million people. Their own people.

China actively involved and supported Khmer Rouge, who killed at least a million Khmers. Three million if you believe Vietnam.

Cultural Revolution caused as much as two million deaths.

2000? Did you try to score Internet point? Mao Zedong, who led China during that tumultuous time, is still untouchable in China. 50 years after his death, 26 years after the arbitrary 2000.

		The US is always in some fucking war killing people from other countries, now threatening to invade 3 other countries, has killed somewhere between 2000-3000 civilians already in the Iran War and driven countless people in poor Asian countries to suffering and sometimes death because of the oil price shocks. As someone who lives in neither the US nor China, my primary concern is their impact on the rest of the world. You want to bring in wars China supported, then we have bring in all the wars the US has started or supported too [1]. Not to mention Jimmy Carter also supported Pol Pot during Khmer Rouge [2]. China hasn't started any wars, invaded any countries or kidnapped any heads of state recently. By any measure of recent history, there is no absolutely no question at all on which country has killed the most people outside its borders, its the US. Again, as someone who lives outside US & China, I don't care what goes on inside their borders I care about what they do to the rest of the world.

Where did you get those stats? 50 people is way too low, even with the sneaky qualifier of "outside its borders".

Speaking of borders, China has border disputes with 17 countries
