China has traditionally done little with a lot when it comes to war.
A good measure of this would be how well the Han Empire did against the most powerful nomad confederation in the world, and how poorly Rome did against one of the weakest. If China did "little with a lot" I'd hate to see how you evaluate the Abbasids and Romans.

As a general statement "China was always getting into too many wars and mismanaging them and having to buy peace" is more accurate than the opposite.
China has traditionally had a great military on paper but in practice has been proven wanting. The Japanese were hardly the first to convincingly beat Chinese armies and secure a large settlement in return for peace. Japan was just treading a path other powers had been going down for thousands of years. |

It's like his bat signal. He can't help himself. He has this uncontrollable need to defend China.
Even though they are evil he has to defend them. 
Its funny how they rolled over for the Japanese.

You'll have to be more specific. I'll just go with the most salient examples:
Mongols. They took 70 years to take over China, and China was split into four different "nations". Meanwhile, they steamrolled the world's next greatest powers (the Arabs and various Central Asian empires) and arguably the third (Eastern Europe).
The Manchu, they took advantage of civil war and were led into China during, you guessed it, a civil war. Japan, another civil war after a long period of chaos and warlordism, preceded by more chaos.
I don't really expect you to have an in-depth knowledge of Chinese history as a lawyer but if you're trying to start some kind of e-peen fight I'm not taking the bait. Just curious as to what people here actually know, beyond the occasional idiot too intimidated to get a word in the game like Darkblade and that Grey Name Retard Guy.

I'm sure a nation that lifts hundreds of millions out of poverty would be seen as evil by the cheerleaders a nation that kills tens of millions to enrich a few.
