China's is likely referring to the Korean war or the Vietnam war. So it should probably be 2 ig, though for Korea China was firmly on the right side of history.
I like how this has a table of many wars and their outcomes but I commend you for actually giving a source
Edit: I didn't check if they initiated the conflicts, so the source might actually prove your point kinda right but I'm lazy
Indo-Chinese war of 1962 begs to differ. Many more border clashes with India that are happening almost every year, with continued annexation of
Indian land inch by inch, without any retaliation by India because India is weak.
Neither country is state-run capitalism. And anyway, state capitalism is an oxymoron when a state has fiat monetary sovereignty—which the US and China do. Such a state has no need to make a profit, which is foundational to capitalism, because it can and does create as much money as it pleases. You don’t have to take my word for it, you can take Alan Greenspan’s.
Do you think this is because the leadership is magically nicer for some reason, or because their political/economic system is better able to stay out of conflict?
It also overlooks that China has historically been conquered by outside forces as its leadership grew weak. And the Communist party was having enough trouble internally feeding its people and causing issues like the "break four olds" period that there was little ability to wage effective war.
Let's also not forget the the communists literally aided the Japanese in the rape of Nanking as it helped to undermine the GuoMinDang.
