I am asking for your statistics, because you are the one trying to make a point.
"increasing weapon sales and deals toward countries that are directly going against China", give me the numbers please. How much arms sales before and after? To which countries exactly? How are they even relevant in comparison to China's military growth?
"new military bases around China": again, give me the numbers please, how many bases around Chinese before and after, at least show it on a graph to support your point. Your original point was that US sanctions and aggressive behaviors are working against China because they tarnish China's reputation and make people think China is weak. Well, show me with numbers how much US has step up their military build up against China around China, and how does that increase US militaristic advantages against China. Because if US "stepped-up" action is unmatched or even dwarfed by China in the same region, that would hardly be a US show of force.
"more millitary alliances": Please tell me with whom? With whom that was not already a US ally decades ago already? What formal alliance did the US newly form around China? Please point at least one out.
"more soldiers stationed near China" Again, numbers. At least give some numbers. At least show a numerical increase. How many US soldiers were stationed near China before, and how many now? Numbers will really show your point. Not just claims.
"more frequent freedom of navigation exercises", again, if you think this is somehow more aggressive and effective than China building actual artificial islands capable of stationing fleets of large aircrafts in South China Sea, that's your right. But that won't be very convincing. Besides, in terms of military presence, are they actually sailing more often in Asia Pacific? Are you saying that they don't sail in Asian Pacific waters with the same frequency before? Just by calling it "freedom of navigation" sails neither increased nor decreased their presence in the region. Show me the numbers comparison before and after in the region. If they already sails around in the region in the same frequency (but just didn't call it "freedom of navigation") before they started this own "freedom of navigation" campaign, than that's nothing but a publicity stunt.
废话。
