I mean, how much more peaceful and defensive and humble could a military alliance be? We are not threatening any nation, we are threatening everyone!

It's what that pig said, "All animals created equal but some are more equal than others."
That's propaganda.
The first time I saw something like this, was from Faux News.
They had a graphic on the screen, which was a graph with numbers underneath it.
The graph was suppose to make their political enemies the Democrats look bad.
The numbers to the graph was correct. But those numbers were not bad.
However, the way they drew the graph, it looked bad, because the graph plotted did not correspond to the numbers. No one is going to look closely at the numbers when they already see the line of the graph. People will remember that line of the graph, and if it was a mistake, then too bad!
Same thing here. They want to people to remember the picture, and not the headline. The emotional feeling provoked is more important than the data.
We can tell who is winning and losing by the propaganda used.
Agree with what you are saying.
However, I think China should ignore it, or not do much about it.
There is not much to do.
The problem with large organizations, is that it is difficult to all those involved to be moving in the same direction. That is the weakness, because if someone bolts, they all could go, and the dam burst.
Look at the QUAD. As an organization to contain China, it is already on its deathbed. The Americans had designs that the QUAD was going to contain Russia as well, and the QUAD was going to gain new members.
When something is weak, it does not mean it can become strong overnight.
To be strong, they must put in the effort, which they seem to have lost their confidence in doing that.
Seems like the Americans want a quick fix for everything.
Correct! I pointed out the response from EU and NATO has been completely disunited to the entire situation. They like to puff that finally they are more united that ever, but all I'm seeing is EU members dragging their feet and some even undermining their own sanctions. All these organization US is making is running into a Byzantine General problem, where you succinctly illustrated what is the issue and effect of this problem.
They are having so much trouble with just Russia alone, what do they expect when they try the same strategy with China, where a lot of their interests and contradictions will collide. That's why I don't see US strategy succeeding here, and that China's success is assured as long as their government doesn't screw up.
Why is this white boy assiduously assume that if only Chinese people are exposed to Uncle Vladimir's genocide in Bucha, Ukraine then Chinese people would demand that their government change their tune and support Daddy America? I never get this nonsense from people like this assuming or insisting that uncritical western news reporting must be parroted without question to a country like China because if it doesn't it means that China is simply suppressing the "truth" to her own people. What a condescending, supremacist attitude that many western people possess.
I mean, if that is the standard, then why can't they showcase positive things, contributions that the CPC, the Chinese people writ-large have done in China with all the positive achievements it made these past many decades, especially in lifting hundreds of millions of Chinese people from extreme poverty, a feat that's unprecedented in human history. All they (the collective west) muster to do is show, exaggerate any Chinese failings to project their sick wishful thinking that the Chinese system is about to collapse, is collapsing, or will collapse for the millionth time.

Its always dumb takes from these people with Chinese names after their username, sometimes fake to compensate for their lack of authority and understanding on matters related to China. All they can do is cry abt it in Twitter, that the Chinese media controls their own narrative like their own "free and independent" media.
These people are also the reason why anti-Asian hate crimes are rising up in their own states, and responsible for reinforcing the narrative that Chinese people are bunch of brainwashed folks. I really wish they live in interesting times.
Does this one at least speak the language?
