Note that all our issues with china would be solved if we stopped pretending like they're our enemy.

Oh yes, that nice warm fuzzy China that definitely doesn't speak regularly about war and conflict with the West.

Look the united states is incredibly bloodthirsty and in my relatively short lifetime has killed absurd quantities of people in wars of choice. China hasn't invaded anyone as far as I know. I'm not saying they won't or don't want dominance but idk why we pretend that somehow China are the warmongers

I mean, to claim china isn't expansionist overlooks their extremely violent formation. That said, they haven't been very expansionist for many many hundreds of years.
