Immediately thought of Vietnam and Cambodia. OP really doesn’t know much history…
[Edit: I just checked because I wasn’t sure, but China didn’t invade Cambodia as far as I can tell. I knew they invaded Vietnam in support of Cambodia, but I didn’t know whether some of the Sino-Vietnamese battles also took place in Cambodia, and apparently, no.)]
Image says “Has invaded since PRC was founded”, not “is occupying right now”, don’t try to change the terms of the debate when contradicted. You still could’ve made a point that China invaded much fewer countries than the US, but at least try to have an accurate map or the accurate words.
I don’t find it dishonest or inaccurate to say that crossing a border with troops and tanks and occupying cities constitutes an invasion, but I guess it’s a matter of semantics. As is calling a conflict with dozens of thousands of casualties a “minor skirmish”.
And OP’s comparison pic is nonsense for more reasons than that. The time ranges are wildly different, it’s counting starting from 1776 for the US, but it starts counting from 1949 for the PRC

China is occupying Vietnam and Cambodia?

Portraying minor skirmishes as invasions is the height of dishonesty. Ironic that you would do that while accusing me of being inaccurate.
