"The frequency of military intervention by the United States after the Cold War is more than 7 times that of the previous one."
"The US should not act as the world's largest war maker anymore."

According to reports, US independence investigative reporter Norton recently quoted data released by the U.S. Congressional Research Service Department, pointing out that from 1798 to 2022, the United States launched 469 military interventions overseas. 251 have been launched in just over 30 years since the end of the Cold War, far exceeding the total of more than 190 years before the end of the Cold War.
Norton's report also pointed out that the targets of the U.S. military intervention involve the vast majority of countries in the world, including almost all countries in Latin America and most countries on the African continent.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said in response to an inquiry at a regular press conference on September 20 that the US side has repeatedly claimed to respect and maintain the "rules-based international order", but these data released by the US Congress fully reflect the belligerent nature and hegemonic background of "US rules".

Wang Wenbin pointed out that in the past 240 years, the United States has not fought a war in only 16 years. With the end of the Cold War, the outside world expects the United States to reduce its overseas military operations, but the opposite is true. The frequency of military interventions launched by the United States after the Cold War was more than seven times higher than before. All these figures are conservative estimates and do not include special operations and covert operations in the United States.
Wang Wenbin emphasized that what the US should do is not empty talk about the so-called "rules" and "order", nor accusing other countries of undermining peace and stability, but to reflect on and correct its own wrong behavior of launching wars everywhere and wantonly interfering in other countries' internal affairs, and to no longer act as the world's largest war maker.
