What makes you think they are not? Is it different or worse from the US foreign policy of "lets kill brown people half way across the world"? The anti-China rhetoric has to stop somewhere.

  The US has a lot of problems and bad behavior. Yet we can talk about it without worrying if the us govt is pressuring our employer to fire us, without worrying about the safety of family members & friends living in the us will be rounded up. China is not that place. It's not anti-Chinese rhetoric to point our reality. China is the place where people wonder when the authorities are coming to take you to the re-education camp, hopefully not to be sterilized. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/29/magazine/uyghur-muslims-china.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/29/magazine/uyghur-muslims-c... https://www.theatlantic.com/the-uyghur-chronicles/ https://www.theatlantic.com/the-uyghur-chronicles/ https://dailycaller.com/2020/10/09/uighur-muslim-detention-camps-inpmrisonment-screaming-china/ https://dailycaller.com/2020/10/09/uighur-muslim-detention-c...

  That would be very unnatural. States make war for their interests. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offensive_realism https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offensive_realism

    Fighting in the Middle East is literally the exact opposite of what Neorealists believe. John Mearsheimer opposed to these idiotic middle east wars and has been for a long time.

      You're confounding descriptive and persctiptive theory. Such conflicts are an obvious consequence of the setup despite deeper strategic analysis advising against it. In his book, Mearsheimer > readily acknowledges the inherent pessimism of offensive realism and its predictions because his world is one in which conflict between great powers will never see an end.

        Fighting in the Middle East is not great power conflict. Fighting in the Middle East is evidence of a broken political process, not an inevitable outcome of Offensive Realism.
