I wonder where these "economical difficulties" come from, though.

Also, 1. is bullshit too, there are US military bases 0 miles away from China, they have one in Hong Kong (EDIT: used to, was removed by the government in 2020 https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/politics/article/3046733/hong-kongs-fenwick-pier-be-demolished-after-serving-united ) and another in Taiwan.

    US air carriers are essentially floating bases and they’re always a few miles away from Chinese waters

      US Coast Guard ship transited Taiwan Strait after Blinken's China visit

      The national security cutter Stratton made a "routine" Taiwan Strait transit on Tuesday "through waters where high-seas freedoms of navigation and overflight apply in accordance with international law", the U.S. Navy's 7th Fleet said on Thursday.

      ...

      "Stratton's transit through the Taiwan Strait demonstrates the United States' commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific. The United States military flies, sails and operates anywhere international law allows," the 7th Fleet added in its statement.

      The US has been playing the "We're not touching!!!" game with China for years.
