Bruh China doesnt really have expansionist qualities, which is evidence i would need to see in order to classify it as colloqiually Imperialist (even though Lenin's definition is x1000 more useful in today's context).
Bringing territories such as Hong Kong back into the fold after they were stripped away by western colonial powers is not expansionism, in fact its quite the opposite: it is China starting to say "enough" and pushing back against the Imperial core's neverending bloodthirsty desire to balkanize the PRC and buy up all the SOEs and Coops like hotcakes.
And border disputes are still extremely common outside of the imperial core, with factors ranging from shitty colonial border partitioning to less resources available to keep track of changes in parts of borders that are based on geographic features like rivers. Its not imperialist just cause military=spooky or whatever lib shite.
Nah, they're at war over land and resources. (Just don't call it imperialism.)

Yes, and Webster's dictionary defines it as a policy of extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy or military force
One of those darn side effects of living in consensus reality
