I dislike China for running concentration camps for Muslims, organ harvesting, social scores, no free speech, and having made Xi a dictator for life. I’m pretty sure Americans have a lot of other reasons like job losses, real estate money laundering, etc.
- rchaud 7y agoThe US supports numerous regimes guilty of the exact things you're describing, with financial aid, military security guarantees and arms sales. What's your stance on those?
- threezero 7y agoI wish we’d cut support for all of them, but none of those countries are the economic threat that China is.
- rchaud 7y agoChina's economic threat has magnified several fold because the US has spent the past 2 decades mired in conflicts that have been stoked by its allies in Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, China has had a free hand in developing trade relations with its neighbouring states and African countries, further weakening the US' position there. Whatever billions the US has earned selling weapons to KSA are a drop in the bucket compared to what it's spent in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya and Pakistan. These are all countries where KSA has funded extremist political movements that continue to destabilize the region.
