Did they invade Hong Kong? It's a very western viewpoint that invasion is the only way to affect change.

Hong Kong was leased from China. No invasion necessary.

They've squashed the democracy movement there, though.

  • I'm not saying they're not trying to expand their sphere of influence. I just think they're not quite as gung-ho about it as western powers. They work slower and less aggressively, invasions are a last resort.
