My point was the casual way of demeaning the world by saying most won’t trade with China. People aren’t dollars. > authoritarian government produces this dominance thinking, combined with misconception about how the US rules Westerners have a misconception of what is authoritarian or democratic, and what isn’t.

I listed many examples of western imperialism and mucking about. That’s a fraction of the total amount. Which is many, many times more than China. China is bad. So is the west. Everything you fear about Chinese thinking is a mirror of western thinking except add smugness and elitism to the mix. How does the US rule? > Another consequence is that invasion will destroy the fabs in Taiwan and nobody will get chips for a while. Less weapons to kill innocent Palestinians with? Sounds okay to me.
