And here's the thing. We tried to project military strength all over the world, while China is engaging in something called the "Belt and Road" initiative, where they go into third world countries, and help them build infrastructure to move their products around.
We antagonize the rest of the world by bombing it... China gains favor by helping it.
The other part of our relationship with China is that we look at Taiwan, Hong Kong, TIbet and the Uyghurs in terms of human rights and democracy. China looks at those regions through the lens of national sovereignty, and how the only reason why these places aren't fully under Beijing's control is that in the past foreign powers infringed on China's sovereign control of these regions.
Hong Kong became a British colony because of the Concessions forced on China in the Opium Wars. (You know, where the British Empire went to war for the right to sell addictive drugs to the Chinese people!) Despite that, China did not roll into Hong Kong in 1949 when the British Empire was in its death throes. It waited until the lease ran out and allowed it a certain level of autonomy.
Tibet- China allowed the corrupt Lama class to have control of the region and the British exploited it, until they moved in and the Dalai Lama fled. Contrary to what the Dalai Lama tells Richard Gere, their rule of Tibet was cruel and life was pretty miserable for most Tibetans.
Taiwan- Illegally taken from China by Japan, the US protected the remnants of Chiang Kai-shek's corrupt regime to set up there and they were a fascist dictatorship we supported all the way up to the 1990's.
As for the Uyghurs - The Russians moved into that region and supported their semi-independence, and then withdrew when China went Communist. The Uyghers have cooperated with various international Islamist terrorist groups, including Al Qaeda.
In short, China is NOT our enemy, and there are people in Washington (both parties) that are unnecessarily antagonizing them over non-issues.
If the media was honest they would have speculated why the Bubba shipped nuclear technology to N.K.

The USA looks for wars, I agree, time to get rid of Biden and the Democratic Party. It is terrible, corrupt, how the democratic party is always getting us into wars.
You are right, that was the right application of our forcesFoFor
Rumsfeld was on ABB board during deal with North Korea - SWI swissinfo.ch
Weapons experts say waste material from the two reactors could be used for so-called “dirty bombs”. The Swiss-based ABB on Friday told swissinfo that Rumsfeld was involved with the company in early 2000, when it netted a $200 million (SFr270million) contract with Pyongyang. The ABB contract was...
Like Bush's invasion of Iraq or Afghanistan?

yet, if you call it a blunder, it was the greatest blunder of all timeDumbest blunder since Operation Ajax.

Sadly, The Democratic Party is successfully turning Afghanistan back into a terrorists state, giving billions to Afghanistan.
Iraq, the people are much better off, without Saddam Hussien and his sons terrorizing. There was so much good from those wars. I am sorry for you that your side lost but don't hate us Americans, we were only doing the right thing.
Yes, the Democratic Party decided the best thing to do was to run like cowards, giving billions in weapons to the Taliban terrorists.There's no Democrats in Afghanistan. Bush went in to try and save ENRON's 3 billion dollar white elephant at Dabhol.
Iraq was crippled by 2 decades of war and sanctions. Clean Break Strategy and Operation Mass Appeal demanded the US invasion.
Yes, the Democratic Party decided the best thing to do was to run like cowards, giving billions in weapons to the Taliban terrorists.
Iraq was crippled by the tyrannical rule of Saddam Hussien, of course your view is that you would love to live under the rule of corrupt tyrants.
yes, we know the democratic party left behind billions in weapons and tries to blame someone not in office.Trump already pulled 12,000 US troops leaving their weapons behind..and freed 5000 from prison.
You don't know anything about Iraq. Neither did Bush and Cheney.
Just love how the left looks the other way when it comes to communist mass murder aggression etc. Chaing was no social democrat but was FAR preferable to Mao.And here's the thing.
