The graphic is inaccurate And clearly has an objective. North Korea often invaded South Korea after the war ended

> A total of 3,693 armed North Korean agents have infiltrated into South Korea between 1954 and 1992

The data on the graphic is taken from this much longer list:

Which events do you deny happened?

I explained that already

So, instead of 44-0, the USA is a mere 44-1 up on the aggression front. And as I said, since we're talking about China here, swap China for North Korea. How many countries have China invaded, bombed or staged coups in, since the end of the Korean war?

I mean, you're double and triple (even quadruple and quintuple) counting on that a fair amount, and a fair number of those are pretty dubious.

But the point isn't to provide accurate information, it's to provide something that tries to makes a point and would be a huge pain to bother refuting or diminishing, as all propaganda is designed to be.

Tibet and Vietnam come to mind. Hong Kong most recently (violation of treaty). here is a full list for you

Also, as a democracy the US has released information about those events. We don’t expect the PRC to release evidence they behaved poorly (since they already forbid talking about TS)
