I agree these are extremely concerning if implemented but many things are proposed in US bills that never come to fruition. I personally think Biden doesn't have much room to pursuing high stakes gamesmanship over Taiwan/HK when US economy has record high inflation, skyhigh debt, and slow economic growth. Now if a Republican gets into power in 2024, then that is really really concerning, because over half the stuff you posted will become reality. With Biden, probably it will be significantly diluted or removed outright. Biden can't afford to confront China when his popularity is so low due to pandemic and poor economic status. What you posted is more of a wishlist amongst Republican hawks than what will actually be implemented.

If I was CCP, I would not be concerned that much.

The Americans never change.

The extreme right wing nut, they view the world in too simplistic terms. They can be outmaneuver every time.

The Liberals are far more devious. Their problem today, is they do not have the unbridled power like they use to.

That is an important point. The PRC had to watch and see how those Liberals in the United States can play the game with a weaker hand.

So far, they got no game at all.

The CCP strategy should be very basic, tit for tat, all the way.

Of course, there is a lot more we can say, but that is probably too much, lol. Leave it at that for now.

I once had a Mormon tried to convert me and a bunch of my friends a years ago (teenage years). Milked them for all the stuff they were willing to provide us with like playing basketball at their church compound, offering us free meals and ice cream snacks. And then had us watched a couple of Latter day Saint's video which when the video ended asked us to convert and accept their religion.

My impressionable friends were on the fence but I spoke out against their intention and called out their intention was inauthentic and therefore their gestures were done expecting something in return which wasn't "Christ like" at all. Since, I read the Bible sparingly out of curiosity and connections having the experience of living in a Catholic Philippines, what they were doing was no different than what the serpent did in the book of Genesis to Adam and Eve with the "fruit of knowledge" temptation.

@Bellum_Romanum bro god only had 10 commandments , Jesus mission is to remind god followers about his father teaching, I don't know how it become a book which complicate things. I'm an atheist BUT I follow the Ten commandments cause its tenets is the foundation of all religion and of Humanity. bro religion had become an entertainment , instead of focusing on teaching they focus on the personality making a mockery of the institution.

@emblem21 and bro they never mentioned god it's always Jesus. I once question the teaching in our catholic school and I was single out for being blasphemous, me a mere child asking an innocent question ( I have round big eyes and acted cute BUT to no avail).
