Yeah, yet again another record about to be broken and it is one that the USA has the least to be proud about

For pretty much any other country, I'd agree but with America in a full-blown desperation/fear-induced fit of evil and ugliness, I can be apathetic and celebrate my accuracy in mathematic prediction.
I admit I used to feel similarly given how much harm the USA has done to the world but now a days I feel a mixture of sadness and disgust at how poorly a so called superpower is handling a crisis that should be well within there power to solve without trying there damn hardest to cause harm to China based on the fact that China has there own way of doing things and the USA cannot help but try to drag China down in there hate of racism because deep down, they know that they are not leadership material. The ordinary people obviously don’t deserve the harm but those who continue to throw shade at China because there government/media tells them to without finding the truth can just choke on there suffering though

I'm not a troll and I never said I was. Stop lying. I said I try to present the other side's perspective sometimes to bridge the gap between the US and China. I never said China should roll over, I said that good relations are in China's interest which they are. It's about being strategic and smart in pursuing your goals, not giving them up. In my experience Americans are nice people, and as a Chinese Americans what should I say? That Americans are hateful? Of course not. I never propagated anything false about the Xinjiang camps, there's a lot of evidence China is doing collective punishment there, you can't deny it. Also I said I think China needs to find the real source of Covid because otherwise conspiracy theories will develop, and also that we don't know yet how it started. None of this means I wish ill of China. I am a huge supporter of China, I just think it's interests lie in a different direction than some of the things that have been happening. But it is doing a lot of the right things, too. Like I said, I focus on criticism so China can improve. For the things it is already doing well, then by all means keep doing it.
The important lesson here is that the US is a government by and for the financial oligarchy. They strip mine the world for profit but they've also been doing the same to their own citizens for the past 40 years. It's easty to see why such a government is unconcerned with helping it's own people and even easier to see why a socialist political and economic model like China merely existing is a threat to them. On the flip side China and Chinese people need to be vigilant and not allow the same forces to grow within China.
That's why we see people like Jack Ma and associates getting heat in China right now. He was pushing this idea of 996, 9am to 9pm 6 days a week of work onto young adults, which got lots of backlash. Then there was the whole issue with him advocating for total financial deregulation in China and criticizing the government for regulating financial markets which brought along government backlash. People later realized that the highly leveraged model he was proposing would create an immense debt bubble much like the subprime mortgage crisis in the US and push consumers into debt. It's not just him, he is a front man for many interest groups in the background which includes a lot of international capital. China is also a country with plenty of interest groups, each vying for their vision of the future.
Yes, Americans are so nice that they smash up Vietnamese restaurants and harass Japanese in subways because they've been told to blame China for covid. Liberal democracy and capitalism are systems designed to protect property rights first, second, and third. Human rights come later, much later. It is not in China's interest to emulate the west's political or economic system. If you love human rights so much, study Marxism, it is the way forward.
