China has done some shady things when it comes to foreign policy. It's actually one of the main critiques I have of china, and while the foreign policy they conduct is far better than pre-Xi, is still far too conformist and 'pragmatic' for my liking, especially considering it'll benefit more nation's if china becomes more assertive.

From giving weapons to the Philippines government to fight Filipino revolutionaries, to its participation in the Nepalese civil war in the favour of the government, instead of the communists. Still I'm hopeful china will correct this mistake soon.
