China is a country with an authoritarian system. After the economic rise, Internal oppression, external expansion, domestic genocide, religious persecution, and human rights violations have emerged endlessly, and violated the "one country, two systems" promise to the UK in Hong Kong, violated the unintentional militarization commitment to the United States in the South China Sea, and promoted the "Belt and Road" globally ", even claiming that China has sovereignty over the Taiwan Strait, and its actions not only cause tension in the Indo-Pacific region, but also pose a huge threat to global peace.
