Answer:
The grievance narrative has led China to assume the role of an aggressive,autocrative superpower that has scant respect for the rules based international order. It has amassed enough economic,military and soft power to impose a new geopolitical and geoeconomic order where the Middle Kingdom's interests will be eternally paramount. Accordingly,China has set about creating a new space for itself by trampling on the feet of others. China uses its $14 trillion economy the world's second largest as a weapon to secure its political objectives and bully countries that criticize its policies.And apart from posing a technological and ideological challenge to the West, China is also busy picking fights with nearly all its neighbours and putting pressure on littoral nations on the Indo-pacific led by a medieval smash and grab territorial lust. In recent months, China harassed Indonesia by invading its maritime border,targeted a Japanese maritime destroyer, sank a Vietnamese fishing boat, went into a standoff with the US over disrupting Malaysia's exploration activity, sent fighters jets over Taiwan airspace and introduced a new language to bully Taipei .
In most of these cases, China has been guided by imaginary grievances and perceived injuries and nearly all Chinese actions are in response to provocations.The persistent border tension with India owes to the fact that nearly 4000 km long LAC lies un-demarcated and un-delineated and China has kept it this way because it serves its purpose.China has deliberately refrained from exchanging maps so that that India and China may resolve the long-standing dispute, and over decades has attempted to relentlessly alter the norms, change facts on the ground and shift the status quo to slowly but interminably change the political map. Each time it shifts the claim lines, China puts the onus of maintaining “peace and tranquillity” on the other side. And it has also cultivated deliberate obfuscation to hide its real motive behind this territorial aggression.
