Best counter argument is what about Japan during the 80s. It even had U.S. military bases and was an important ally for containing the Soviet Union. Why Plaza Accord then?

American far-right (Republicans) has been deeply anti-intellectualist for 30 years and the right (Democrats) has become an affirmative-action supporter. This is a horrible combination for the academy of a country. They can not depend on immigration forever especially against a nation with 1.44 billion people.
No need to bring in logic. This is a war. If tomorrow the US announced a full on chip embargo to China I wouldn't bat an eye
Everything is fair in war. No need to debate or argue or try to find reason. Just strive to become strong, and when you become strong, crush them all
Can you please stop writing that liberal theology nonsense here, troll?
I am just saying that it is stupid to think that the U.S. hates Xi, not China. If Hu were still in charge he'd be sanctioned too.
The point you made is even stronger than that. The US militarily occupies Japan and wrote its constitution. You literally cannot get a more servile state and they still got Plaza'd.
If you are doing a PR campaign against another nation, you go after its leaders, its institutions, not its people.

Nobody's really that stupid; it's driven by fear. If you can fool yourself into thinking that you're up against a person or a government with the Chinese population neutral or even rearing to get on your side for "freedom," that's a winnable fight. Now if you have to face the reality that you've got a population of 330 million mostly lazy liberal arts majors against a population of 1.4 billion mostly STEM focused tiger mom-raised overachievers, you can't logically conclude anything other than that it's just a matter of time before you get wrecked.
The Plaza Accord is not to blame for Japan's continual dysfunction and decline even today. The Americans long since forgot about Japan. If they wanted to, they could get their act together but they don't.
in China, Xi vs. speculative capital... western countries hate Xi, because they are losing business to domestic Chinese companies... Xi is agreed with it by CPC members, irony... U.S and western don't understand Chinese...Western think capitalists in China have the right to have a big say in China? they think as simple as the screws of their think tanks...
