Because Geneva and Hague conventions.
I mean, why has Ukraine not done it against Russia after all it worked against them?

When someone's very existence is on the line it's not unrealistic expectations to think they might say "fuck the geneva convention."
I mean, if they break it don't expect us to obey it either at that point. Then killing civilians wont allow them to hide
That's ridiculous. We already fight people who don't follow the geneva convention and still follow it ourselves. We are literally discussing islamic terrorists.

Key word there is terrorists. The standard method for enforcing articles of war is the threat of reciprocity. For a terrorist organization it has no civilian members to retaliate against atleast not officially. But a country? The entire reason so many countries have "terrorists" that happen to attack their rivals over them is exactly for this copout.
The reason it does not get called out more often or atleast called out officially is because as terroists the combatants are no longer subject certain other Geneva conventions. And no I do not mean torture but the ability for them to be tried under criminal law instead of having to be help until their country can negotiate their release or the very politically costly and risky process of someone actually having the balls to sanction every two bit dictator government that does it. Of course these rules get broken so often it is a coin flip but that just adds to it being a political matter more than one of settled law.

Huh what I am referring to is NOT terrorists.
A country that is peer or near peer to the US should the break the conventions, would be harshly punished then, or even worse when they lose.
Plus do you know what they call our operations in Afghan and Iraq when we were in Iraq for more then ISIS during the instability.
Hearts and minds.
Do you know what goes out the window in a peer or near peer opponent that is willing to break the convention? We just make it even worse for them WHILE following it.
Like the Iraqis put weapons on their medical vehicles, and since by the convention you cant fire on a medical vehicle, tey often did not get fired at till AFTER they have already owned fire, because at that point it is no longer a medical vehicle.
Oh should I mention there is that one time the US struck a hospital and were nveer charged with war crimes even when a NGO had tried to claim they did?
We can get away with it if we cover it up duh
It generally is if it is bad enough and the US or another member of the big guys tell them they have too

And how consistent is that? Rwanda, Uighurs, Boko Haram, Imported workers in any Oil Sheik playground of a country you care to name. Pakistan just Pakistan. China is not a separate example. The list of examples in China make it as much a export dumper in this as much as in knockoff toys.
Every year and increasing every quarter you get this. India and China have been "about to go to war" what? 8 time in the last 2 years? Its standard policy now for them to saber rattle and threat a escalation to war as a political move or a distraction whole they move their borders forward a mile or so every year.
Every "border" skirmish between Indian and China coincides with they making one more military base a half mile in front of the last one. Every prepare for war speech coincides with them when negotiations or other countries policies don't go their way.
This one? Probably about the coming election plus a bit of saber rattling for Taiwan and India on the Hong Kong thing while they plan to pacify the place.
Its let me have my way of I pull the trigger on WW3 move. Except the do it so often now its a part of their quarterly review.
At a certain point everyone realizes the only response is meet it head on and say go. Not to back off or even ignore it because both signal they either should do it again or go bigger. They shoot at your border you shoot back. Sure you'll get smeared in China sponsored media and socialist sympathizers but if you don't you risk losing your country one mile marker at a time.
War with China is going to happen

Probably, but if it happens this won't even be among the top 100 causes or reasons.
No of course not. It is still going to happen!

Another example of China flexing its muscles in a stupid way
French museum pulls Genghis Khan exhibition after China objects to name 'Genghis Khan'
So the exhibition is put on hold as the museum is getting in contact with museums elsewhere in the world, who have Mongol artifacts.

Based China. They are flexing and doing instead of crying like the Euros.
War with China will be within the next 10 years.
Is that before or after they have a depression because I have no fucking clue how they can possibly continue to play their game of economic jenga forever.

They just keep on drinking alcohol and pretending everything is going fine like Hollywood
It is right when it starts. It will cause them to get a little...unhinged to try and make up for it.
