Comparing Nazi Germany and the PRC in any way is certainly an interesting choice, considering they're the one major power in the world that actually doesn't have a recent history of invading sovereign nations.

Come again? Tibet was absolutely a sovereign nation. I guess it depends what you mean by "recent", but the colonization is still underway, daily.

Yeah they do. Even right now they're trying to take territory from the Philippines.

China just has a history of denying what they're doing as they're doing it.

There are so many examples online. My favourite is of a Chinese warship ramming into its own coast guard vessel as they fail to intimidate the Philippines Coast Guard.

does the Sino-Vietnamese War not count as recent?

This is a lie. China has an ongoing invasion of Bhutan.

China built a road and villages and military outposts in Bhutan, over China-Bhutan border.
