I’m afraid you’re mistaken. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Lives_Matter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Lives_Matter. There are also many western countries that don’t have a problem with police brutality and racially motivated violence against black people who still took the streets to show solidarity with the African-American people. It’s also ridiculous to believe other western countries don’t have the guts to protest the US considering the largest protests in recent years (in western countries) have involved USA (primarily BLM and Trump) rather than China.

So, when are these countries going to start boycotting the US government? Maybe still during this millennium? I wouldn't hold my breath. These are the same countries that sat down watching while the US practiced apartheid until the 60s.

  When are these countries going to start boycotting China? USA under Trump is quite frankly the only western country that has taken meaningful action to stand up to China. USA also benefits from the fact that it’s a democracy (admittedly a very flawed one, especially compared to e.g. the Scandinavian countries), so if they elect a madman then other countries only have to endure 4-8 years (and his/her power is significantly restricted compared to Xi Jinping and other dictators).

    Right, I'll just vote Democrat and they'll surely end the War in Afghanistan.

  Name one western country that have elected an anti-China government and say why you think their opinion/action towards China had any influence on them willing the election. I’m guessing you can’t, because quite frankly, USA is the only western country that have done something meaningful to stand up to China. If Trump gets re-elected then I’ll agree that his anti-China stance and actions won him a significant amount of votes (enough to be deciding factor in him beating Biden), but unless that happens then you’ll have a hard time convincing anyone that a western government rose to power as a result of their anti-China stance.

Every non-Russia UN security council state from the 50's to the mid 70's. Because they were "fighting back the forces of Communism." Or, as you mention, the Chinese menace has been a constant selling point of the Republican party for thirty years, though Bush did not aggressively pursue it. McCain was openly racist towards China, his coments are truly disgusting.
