@David33 It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool (or koreaboo) than to speak and to remove all doubt.
Read @Aonghusa's fact-based post upthread.
I"ll even sum it up for you. In recent decades, the USA has invaded various countries on multiple continents, either officially or unofficially with CIA coups d'état, secret, proxy wars all over the Middle East & Global South (Latin America, Africa, Asia, etc.].
Meanwhile, China has only been involved in military posturing & signalling in regional border disputes.

When did I ask about your happiness regarding my being flattered or regarding anything else, for that matter. I did ask whether you created an MDL account just to talk to me, but this question about your MDL account wasn't juxtaposed with my sentence: "Nor did I even ask." They weren't even in the same post. It's fairly obvious that I meant that I don't care & didn't ask about whether you were happy about my being flattered. But that's neither here nor there.
You define "eager for war" so broadly as to make it relatively meaningless. I take it to mean actually waging war. Or at least being just right on the verge of it based on recent history. But I guess you could say that this is a matter of interpretation.
But what isn't a matter of interpretation is the degree to which China is "eager for war" vis-a-vis the United States. Of course, China is less eager.
In recent decades, the US has waged wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Somalia, etc. And those are just the official wars, not counting the numerous CIA/NSA secret wars & coups d'etat all over the Middle East & Global South (Asia, Africa, Latin America, etc.)
Meanwhile, China hasn't invaded any country. Yes, China has displayed military force against their neighbors in border disputes, but that's not waging war.
No matter how you look at it, saying that China and the United States are equally eager to wage war is a false equivalence.
And I'm not sure how you define "ridiculously" offended. Who made you the arbiter of whether or how much an offended party can be offended?
If this were an isolated incident, maybe you have a point. But Chinese people aren't the only people who've protested K-drama portrayal & treatment of their country & culture. In the last 5 years or so since I began watching Asian dramas, Black people, Indians, Indonesians, Vietnamese, Filipinos, Arabs, Muslims have all protested K-drama materials that they found offensive to their countries or cultures. And this is just what I recall off the top of my head as someone who's only casually aware of K-dramas relative to other Asian dramas. Who knows what I may be missing?
So either all these countries, cultures, & peoples are hypersensitive & too easily offended. Or a non-trivial amount of K-drama content is culturally insensitive & offensive.
I know what I or any other relatively reasonable person (excluding koreaboos) would think.

You're being intellectually dishonest.
The K-drama isn't only saying that China is not peaceful (which is debateable); it is saying that China is a warmonger. The exact line is: "Why is China so eager for war?"
Not to mention, the celebration parade was a one-time special occasion (the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII & victory over Japan).
Last but not least, you're cherry-picking my arguments. You're the one who brought up nuclear warheads, not me. If you're going to bring up the issue of publicly displaying nuclear warheads in a one-time deal, it's hardly unreasonable for me to bring up their deployment as a two-time deal.
As for your being "happy" that I'm flattered, I don't particularly care. Nor did I even ask.
Prior to the #metoo movement, women who brought attention to their being sexual assaulted were dismissed as "batshit…
If Chinese citizens were the only people protesting K-drama portrayal & treatment of their country & culture, then maybe you got a point. But so have Black people, Indians, Indonesians, Vietnamese, Filipinos, Arabs, Muslims & this is just what I know off the top of my head over the last 5 years or so only. I didn't even start watching Asian dramas before then.
What's more likely? All these countries, cultures, & peoples are overly sensitive & easily offended. Or South Korean entertainment products are culturally insensitive & offensive.
Prior to the #metoo movement, women who brought attention to their being sexual assaulted were dismissed as "batshit…
Not my country. I just don't like koreaboos & S. Korean entertainment productions that trash other countries ( especially those in which I've lived) & cultures (especially those I've studied).
And you do understand the difference between ideology & practice, right?
Communism, as an ideology, promotes equality, but that doesn't mean communist countries (including China) live up to that ideology. In the same way, democracy, as an ideology, promotes freedom, but that doesn't mean democratic countries (including South Korea & the United States) live up to their ideology either.
The difference is that koreaboos & K-dramas consistently & persistently trash China, while C-dramas & C-drama fans don't (except some of us do so in self-defense).
We don't pick fights with koreaboos or go out of our way to trash South Korea, but if you start something, you better believe we will finish it.
I've never even posted in an MDL K-drama or K-drama article section before. But some of the comments were so mean & cruel that I felt compelled to say something. And then one thing led to another.
Every other time I defend China or Chinese people & culture, the koreaboos (including you) call me "commie pinko," CCP agent, etc. So why can't I fight fire with fire?

I dunno about you, but if someone pointed hundreds of guns towards me in my own backyard, I would take out a bigger gun to make sure they don't shoot me & my family.
Does it really matter how they watched it? A show can be racially offensive even it its not meant for that audience.…
How come the South Korean government kept whining about its Hyundai people getting their sorry a$$e$ kicked out of my country when they entered illegally with invalid visas or stayed illegally with expired visas?
If you do illegal sh1t, then stop b1tching about being treated like pieces of sh1t that do illegal sh1t.
And despite being treated like pieces of sh1t by their American oppas, South Koreans do stupid sh1t like keep investing $2.7 billion U$D in the Atlanta, Ga. Hyundai plant where they were locked up in chain gangs for doing their illegal sh1t.
K-drama & K-pop brainrot have literally rotted your brain.China's population size is (approx.) one-and-half…
Yeah, I would block me too if I were you. Only so much intellectual suffering & humiliation one can take, although a koreaboo such as yourself should be used to it by now.

Yes or no??
Which is more deadly? A soldier or a military installation with bombs & missiles.

But maybe you don't take care of your family.
Answer me this: which country is the only one on the planet to ever drop nuclear warheads not once, but twice (on civilian populations, no less)?

Thanks for the commie-pliment!
Let's go for double digits!
Oh, and it's "you're," not "your."
You don't give a sh1t so much that you've replied to me 7X in the last hour. Who's "ragebaiting" whom?
Let's go for crazy eight, shall we?
Oh, and it's "to," not "too" (in the context of your statement); and don't end your sentences with prepositions.
You're welcome for my free schooling in English grammar & in general.
The only I know now is that it's kind of (second-handedly) embarrassing to see unfunny people try to be funny.
