You're really playing fast and loose with your definition of war here, you change it depending on the country, but aren't clearly delineating which you're using. So let me ask a question to try to clear this up:
By the US's standard of what is considered a war, is China at war, and have they been at war in the last 10 years? If so, where and when?
Russia obviously has been at war with Ukraine, no question there.
China has been conquering territory from other nations, making it their own, always advancing (even in cases where it makes no sense whatsoever, read some articles about the Vietnamese border). If that is not war, then what is?
