Everyone with a coast near China would be nice to start with.

Mercantilism allows you to quickly build up industry.

Economic interconnectedness and near monopoly power over some goods also gives you a measure of power, trying to force China to backdown over human rights or territorial disputes through sanctions would hurt the US a lot more now than it would have two decades ago.

It's refreshing to hear the indoctrination and early childhood programming done by the state.

“No law requires any company in China to install mandatory back doors” Ren Zhengfei CEO Huawei
“Their primary goal is to protect their own ability to hack and intrude and steal Western data” Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I.

Given the aggression and hostility china is showing the world, who would you believe?

I guess it depends on the point of view. From where I sit it is America who is showing aggression and hostility.

But I guess Americans see China as dangerous.

This animal is very wicked,
when attacked it will defend itself.
