- bcrosby95 5y agoRegardless, using human emotions in geopolitical discussions is weird. I don't think China is afraid of the US, I think China is doing what China thinks is best for them, which may include going along with the US, or not, or doing something inbetween (most likely).

They're being dragged in because historically they're an ally of Russia Historically China is a quasi enemy of Russia. Russia was plotting to nuke China in 1969 over their border conflict. They have rarely liked eachother and are not traditional allies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Soviet_border_conflict https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Soviet_border_conflict https://www.scmp.com/article/714064/nixon-intervention-saved-china-soviet-nuclear-attack https://www.scmp.com/article/714064/nixon-intervention-saved...
