This is a self fulfilling prophecy. It is better to be friends.

> Any Americans announcing their support for Chinese EV cars or DJI drones or TikTok in U.S is willfully ignorant

Oh they know. Maybe they have learned from the war on Iraq and Afghanistan to not trust the Washington elite on the matter of national insecurity.

> Any Americans announcing their support for Chinese EV cars or DJI drones

How do their prices compare to their non-Chinese competitors?

Isn't most of the crap we buy, from China? Inflation will really hit the roof if things go sour with them

FBI director Wray agrees:

> I do want the American people to know that we cannot afford to sleep on this danger. As a government and a society, we’ve got to remain vigilant and actively defend against the threat Beijing poses. Otherwise, China has shown it will make us pay.

> China is an enemy of U.S.

China is an enemy of the US, the Gazans are an enemy if the US, the Yemeni which the US are bombing are an enemy of the US, Biden just said Iran is an enemy of the US.

Russia is an enemy of the US, Syria is an enemy of the US, North Korea is an enemy of the US. Venezuela is an enemy of the US, Cuba is an enemy of the US.

It just goes on and on and on.

I like the Yemen/Houthi flag. I feel like they would like to be included in your list!

“God Is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, A Curse Upon the Jews, Victory to Islam”

I just thought it was funny you included them in your list. Not that you’re funny, silly maybe, but not funny.

What if you just are tired of this empty propaganda? The people peddling this message have been systematically WRONG about everything for the past generation.

Who has China invaded? Beyond the occasional regional border disputes, like in Vietnam, I'm hard-pressed to find any.

> Who has China invaded?

This has got to be a joke…

Tibet in 1951

India in 1962

China-Vietnam war 1979

Currently, China has border dispute with every country it shares the border with, except two: North Korea and Pakistan

It is illegally building outposts in S. China Sea encroaching on every other country’s marine zone.

It is constantly threatening Taiwan

It is building Navy at a massive pace, attacking every country using its hacker force

It is a singular biggest threat to world peace at this time.

Who said anything about invasions? You could at least respond to the actual allegations made by the person you're responding to. There are perfectly good responses you could make to them rather than changing the subject.

Well, not whom but rather what large body of water.

China is a military and economic supporter of Russia.
