Causes of war may be argued and fogged. by conflicting reports. The aggressor is the country that initiates the hostilities. My information has China ambushing Soviet border guards on Zhenbao Island. This started the 1969 China/Soviet Union border war. Chinese troops entered Tibet in 1960 and later annexed all of Tibet. In February 1979, "Chinese forces launched a surprise invasion of northern Vietnam and quickly captured several cities near the border." In 1962, China settled a territorial dispute with India by attacking and seizing the disputed territory. You may have other information, may claim the aggressor is the nation at fault, or there were extenuating circumstances, which is probably true. Frankly, all of this is in the past, has not determined global fate, and does not determine China's contemporary relations with the rest of the world. Couldn't be very significant -- China has good relations with all the mentioned countries and I believe Tibetans are happy with their liberation from feudalism and are enjoying their progress and prosperity.

None of those rumors support your claim that, "China acted as an aggressor in several wars".
