I'm not an expert by any means but they def want to be an influence in the region. As they will be because they're the number one trading partner for 90% of the world and have a 20 trillion dollar economy.

The Taiwan situation goes back to the 50s and the civil war and has remained unresolved. The US is trying to exacerbate that situation to get a reaction when we should really back up and let them work it out themselves. They're inextricably linked and will always be.

I don't see the psychotic urge for world domination that we ascribe. The US started the talk of inevitable war. I think if we admitted they're a global player and tried to work together all tensions would ease--that's obv not going to happen unfortunately.

The Chinese did just forgive billions in loans for 17 African nations and are actually bulding infrastructure abroad whereas we engage in true debt traps and bomb everyone to hell.

Idk, it's perspective. There's good things and bad just like every nation.

Thanks for the inquiry.
