Their brains are hyper-focused on China. They can twist any good news from China into signs that China is collapsing soon. In this case, some Americans are calling for sanctions on China because "China is supporting Russia"Something I've noticed.
Even with Russia literally at war with Ukraine, the western think-tanks are all "We need to fight China!"
China literally lives rent-free in their heads.
Also, a lot of doom and gloom from a large number of people because, for some reason, they think China's invading Ukraine.
I would've linked it here but its already been taken down... but yea. I wouldn't be too surprised if the western media twist this into China's fault somehow. I wouldn't be surprised if the west use this as an excuse to hit China with sanctions or whatever as well.
