From shifting the goalpost from they can’t be neo-nazis because the West isn’t saying it. To saying wearing SS/Nazi symbols doesn’t make them neo-nazis unless they act like nazis. Now leading to they can’t be neo-nazis because they were guests of Erdogan.

You really are trying to grasp at straws aren’t you?

They are just repacking every failed policies and doubling down those policies into a new bill to show to the public that they are doing something. More exports control(failed), more restriction of investing in China(Biden still has not made a final decision of the scope of the investment ban but it is too late to make any difference), new domestic investment in critical technologies(failed chips act 2), new offers to counter BRI(multiple attempts by both the US and EU but failed even more badly), aiming to deter China from a conflict with neighbors(probably selling more outdated weapons to Taiwan and Philippines.)

Almost 90% of the American public hates/dislikes China. Of course politicians are climbing over each other to oppose China.

What I keep seeing from China's leadership and intellectuals are talks about American politicians needing to match words with actions. Accurate, but it doesn't paint the full picture. The problem is not just US politicians. It's American society as a whole.

The US public has always needed an enemy to divert from their daily problems; as the US declines, this need becomes even more acute.

The deep state thought they could channel this energy against China and made it their mission to do so throughout the Trump years in order to keep China in its place, but they overestimated their position. In their arrogance, they thought China would surrender and sue for peace once threatened with economic war. Then they thought the same when China was hit with the virus.

But China didn't. It grew more powerful, while the West was hit just as hard by the virus. Then came the Russia-Ukraine war, which also didn't work out quite like the West had planned.

Now they're stuck between a rock and a hard place, with a declining economy, a proxy war that's in danger of escalating, and a China that refuses to talk to them and which is becoming more adversarial by the day. All the while, they've worked the American public into a rabid rage, where they'll accept nothing less than total victory over China.

The US has, essentially, no choice but to walk head long into conflict, because any US politician who now suggests cooperation would be condemned as a traitor, and would bring ruin to his own party. All the while, they've created the same dynamic in China where any Chinese politician who shows weakness by accepting US demands, would similarly be condemned as weak. A return to cooperation, now, would require a miracle - it's already a path of no return.

can't be banned, US rules​

Middle schools in Saucon Valley, Pennsylvania can't ban "After School Satan Clubs", a judge ruled. The school district tried to stop the meetings from taking place, citing safety concerns after someone called in a threat, but the judge said a ban was a first amendment violation. From

The judge's order says Saucon Valley had rescinded approval because of the Satanic Temple's "controversial views on religion" and the community's negative reactions to the club, therefore violating the group's First Amendment rights.

The district had argued that the club violated district facility policies when it advertised on social media. Those social media postings, the district argued, led to a North Carolina man making a threat against the middle school relating to the club, leading to school disruptions.

"Although the Satanic Temple's objectors may challenge the sanctity of this controversially named organization, the sanctity of the First Amendment's protections must prevail," wrote Judge John Gallagher, with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, in the decision.

What this did not say, maybe he forgot the textbook definition, as that is essentially imperialism.

I forget the textbook definition of imperialism, but I know it goes along the lines of some foreign power trying to exert political power over some other country, via political or military means, and later it was economic means.

The Americans are just the same old imperialist from history.

Imperialism is kind of bad. It lead to not one, but two world wars.

This point should be brought up continuously, and with many countries in the world are Marxist or leftist leaning, they understand what is being said here about the rules based order parroted by the West. It is just intuitive, they need no explanation, and no need to explain it either.

Either you defeat an imperialistic power by being a bigger power with more imperialistic power, or go the route of the Marxist ideals of egalitarianism, and uniting of people with a common goal, such as communism.

But there is the rub, the Chinese twist, where it is a common goal of development on the principles of the win-win.

In short, Chinese development for China, and if it can help others develop, bypasses all these imperialistic questions.

That is why I think the US has no clue of what it is doing.

This is not America the imperialist against China the imperialist, this is more like America the imperialist against everyone who is against them, directly or indirectly.

And this is not American imperialism against Chinese communism, because that was what Mao tried to do, which was export communism. Now it is all about the win-win for China and anyone who is interested.

The Americans never paid attention to this new China plan, of the win-win, as they never took it seriously. Now that it is doing quite alright, America knows its power and interests are being squeezed.

These China lead egalitarian ideas of development and the win-win, will naturally eat away at American global hegemony or whatever levels that hegemony is at nowadays.

That is why the Americans have no plan. They cannot go around overthrowing everybody who may align with China on the development and the win-win. Even if the Americans overthrew a government, the next government probably still be part of the BRI.

The BRI passed the point of no return a long time ago. It will be a game changer. To bad mouth China about that now, kind of pointless. Again, no US strategy.
