How many wars China has started outside of its own territories???
How many military bases it has in other countries?
How much influence it pushes around when you buy from them?
How many sanctions it has imposed on other countries via third parties?
How, how, how...
China is a communist system, not a democracy.
It can essentially shut its doors to the world and develop just the same it has after it opened its economy to others.
Recall that China didn’t want to open to the world and each time it was forced to...
It opened and now others want to set the rules?
Can’t have your cake and eat it at the same time, now can you?
As far as China knowing about the effects of the virus? Pleasaaaaseeeee! We still know little all over the world after a year from our top professionals...
China showed how dangerous it was and how to deal with it early. For crying out loud, it built a covid hospital in ten days on live tv!
If you want to talk liberties, please do yourself a favor and go visit China first and then provide an educated opinion based on facts not politics.
If you want to see the future cities and tech, go to China...
Space? China!
Communications? China!
Vehicles? China!
Etc... China!
In a few years it will be the largest economy in the world.
The tech war against China now? Biiiiiiiig mistake! It has prodded China to create a national chip industry from scratch and soon it will also overtake the rest of the world.
It’s AI is leagues ahead of the rest of the world.
China plays for the long games, not quick victories.
I laugh when I hear Trump say China steals the technology! China leads on technology in about all branches you can come up with.
It did so the same way others (including the US) did to get ahead: IP theft !
The US rocket 🚀 program: Stolen from Germany.
Jet technology: Stolen from Germany
Industrial revolution: Enter Alexander Hamilton, America's first ever treasury secretary, who proposed a simple solution: break the law and steal the technology.
Putting the full weight of the treasury behind the effort, Hamilton sent spies to observe British industry. He granted passage and patents to immigrating British mechanics. As his biographer Ron Chernow writes, during Hamilton's tenure as treasury secretary "the US government condoned something that, in modern phraseology, could be termed industrial espionage".
Recent IP theft by the US:
Intellectual property theft is a global problem. One shouldn't condemn an entire nation just because a handful of its companies broke the law.

What we have today is politics playing a fixed hand when blaming others and not your own side first.
Japan had plenty of their tech stolen by US companies back in their early days. It was just taken out of Japan and sold like they owned it outright.
Ask Russia how much tech has been stolen from their rocket engines and missiles system by the US?
There’s a saying that if you want to keep anything a secret 🤐 🤫 never take it to China.
There are no secrets because they have too many eyes and ears to cover...
