The "like" button isn't working. China rapes and pillages Countries' for their natural resources.

Correct.

But, unlike the USA, they do not use war as the process.

You are correct. China just walks right in. They are already threatening and using military leverage in India, Nepal and Bhutan. With all our horrific faults the USA still does not come even close to the human rights abuses of China. I know many refugees from Tibet and other Countries. The USA is still considered the best bet. I asked an Afghan refugee (not recent refugee) why the Afghan people hate America. "You invaded our Country." When I asked him why his huge family had immigrated here he said the USA is still considered the best place to live.

So. Not only do we need to keep fighting the good fight for ourselves, family and friends we need to take care of this Country so people can seek shelter here. We are far far from perfect but we are a valued refugee shelter.

Probably true, however, it would be a tough case with a 12 member jury.

Umm, sorties flown over Taiwan? Military intervention in Hong Kong? Invasion of North Vietnam? Crushing Tibet? Weapons sent to Myanmar (and I think some troops, similar to us in Ukraine) China's war with Japan, et al. China's warships and aircraft have a heavy presence in Southeast Asia, currently.
