What are you talking about.
We've been levying tariffs against China in a carrot and stick approach for the last 3 years. We're basically extorting the rest of our NATO allies to block Huawei hardware from being used for 5G implementation. The US is currently trying to get their CFO extradited from Canada to stand trial for bank fraud. We continue to support Taiwan militarily, with arms sales and joint training opportunities and have been since the Cold War (the first one, that is). Looks like we're actually giving them Main Battle Tanks now for the first time ever, if this wikipedia page is to be believed.[1]
I hear you, that I'd like a harder stance taken on China as well - but that probably means going after US companies that do business there. I'm fine with this, but it's a much harder pill to swallow for many. Otherwise your only option is overt military intervention in Hong Kong. And that doesn't seem worth it for Americans.
