Don't forget most of Africa, where it's a lot of "Oh, so sorry you got in massive debt to us for that clean water system. You know, a nice Chinese naval base would look great right over there."

The CIA was operating for a long time in Tibet and got the Dalai Lama kicked out. Taiwan wouldn't even exist if it weren't backed by forgeign powers, namely the US and UK. The US dropped 2.7 million tons of bombs on Cambodia. The US has conducted thousands of drone strikes in Pakistan, and of course, they fought a war in Korea.
