The West has been spending resources since 1500, or since 1200 if we count the crusades, and treats it as an investment. It seems that they managed to gain territories, influence and worshipers around the world.
Being passive in the face of this is asking to have your own territory partitioned between the powers.
The Crusades made the Italian republics the richest and most influential countries during the Renaissance. Then Spain came and invaded and crushed Italy during colonialism. Then France came and crushed Spain during the Enlightenment. Then Great Britain came and crushed France during industrialization. Then the US came and crushed Great Britain and all of Europe since the Great Wars.
The only way to become and remain a superpower is to compete and weaken enemies during wars.
China also has every chance of crushing the US. But being passive and just waiting for someone else to fall doesn't really seem like a way to succeed.
The last time China saw the West arrive and remained inert, it was only a matter of time for the Chinese to be humiliated and the territory partitioned between Europeans, Americans and Japanese.
And you believe these western propagandists?
According to Ministry to commerce published in January 2024 well before (impossible to hide), by the end of 2022 China's total accumulated investment in Syria was 13.24 million USD. That is 0.44% of what the western source alleged. We don't have the figure for 2024, but the picture is clear, it is nothing compared with what the west tried to project.
To put things in perspective, the US spent $320 million in a floating pier in Gaza that lasted for less than 2 months. Even if we calculate in the fact of US being wastefull and cut the cost to 32 million, that is still 2 months lossing twice of China spent in many years.
As a reference, by the end 2022 China's accumulated investment in Iraq was 2.5 billion USD. The figure for Iran was 3.5 billion USD.
"China loosing whenever something happens" is a text book western propaganda. For example, China "lost" when Imran Khan got in office, China "lost" again when he was removed from the office. Or China "lost" whenever Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Thailand etc. change leaders regarless who is replacing whom.
This western talking point does have its success in causing panic and hysteria among many members here. But luckily China isn't a western "democrazy", influencing stupid mass does less in affecting policy than in the west.

China lost but at what cost?
Yes it is satire CNN's "Sharia Night Live" -with well-fed long term prisoners with manicured finger nails ,no scars etc.And families just conveniently there to milk emotional dividends-wow
If this geopolitical situation wasn't so actually dangerous -it'll be comedy gold.

I would say that China is the only country doing the heavy lifting in terms of weakening the American empire by developing its economy, industrial base, technology, military. China’s development itself is giving an alternative to the Western bloc for the world. Russia just don’t have the power of the USSR to weaken the Western grip of the world fundamentally. China is the only hope remaining for the world. Therefore China has to be very smart and strategic on what battles it gets into until it’s ready.
Things like reducing oil dependence by transitioning to EVs, self sufficient in high end chips, develop developed digital yuan and CIPS for international payments, further build up Navy and Air Force, increase nuclear arsenal, etc are needed before going into full on confrontation with the West. Going too early is a mistake that benefits the West. China is realistically the only country that has the smart leadership and the vast scale to end the Western domination. China is the biggest fish the West want to eliminate to preserve their 500 years of dominance.
When the USA's /west's "teeth" bounce off China's political/military/economic armour these westoids will turn on themselves and devour one another.
That's the most IDIOTIC and FUNNIEST thing one can read coming from the retards that's Syria and Syrians. You lot can't even manage or maintain what passes for a country without a western overlord to essentially dictate to them what to do and what not to do. Not to mention the fact that any pretense of civility is simply based on their theocratic (majority religious folks) belief system imposed upon all people including the infidels. And they have the nerve to belittle CHINA? From the position of what exactly? And we're supposed to help those folks that openly mock China? Well, show the world how to govern according to your book and see how things unfold -- I hope for the best in the most honest sense of the word.
