It's interesting how many in the Western media are admitting Western attempts at stopping China have failed. It's because the attempt wasn't about stopping China. It was about scaring China into submission to the US and the West. Like I've been saying. The West needs China so they can control the world. The West needs to block access to China from countries that don't comply to Western wishes. All this because they have to lie that they've changed from being the imperialist colonialist monster they've always been. They're as mortal as everyone else and that's what scares them because they can be nuked. Believing you're superior is one thing but the meat of it is getting everyone else to believe it too.
