      we dont really know yet what the plan is

      Comrade, lets not beat about the fucking bush

      We're touchy over China right now because the US is putting patches of a skull and drone bombing China on its soldiers

          I don't see how US could go to war with China. I mean there's absolutely no denying that the propaganda is in full swing, but it's more likely going to be a cold war 2.0 than an actual war between nuclear powers.

              My intent was not to be pedantic, but reading this over I can see how I came off that way. When people here talk about war with China or attacking China, my brain hears nuclear annihilation, rather than more of the same but constantly getting worse and worse.

              But I don't disagree with the broader point. As a general rule, it's bad to engage in critiques of left wing projects with libs, and this stands even more so when that project is in actively in the crosshairs of American imperialism.

      I definitely get WMD flashbacks every time I hear about Uighurs being persecuted in China. I'm not saying it's not true, but I absolutely don't trust the sudden concern from the MSM and government given their total indifference to, well everything else.

        Don't forget that they were literally bombing the Uighurs 2 years ago: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2018/02/10/bombing-of-chinese-separatists-in-afghanistan-is-a-sign-of-how-trumps-war-there-has-changed/

        "There will be no safe haven for any terrorist group," Gen. John Nicholson, the head of U.S. Forces in Afghanistan, said in a statement Thursday. “We continue to hunt them across the country.”

        To be true you have to have evidence

        The only evidence is from Adrian Zenz and a think tank NGO owned by the US

        And when this evidence is held up to scrutiny it falls apart in seconds or all leads back to far right US paid for organisations who's literal stated goal is to overthrow China

      It's not a huge mystery why. The US has been declining for years, after having built inconceivably extensive systems of imperial domination to compete with a superpower that no longer exists. Those systems need to be directed at something, and China, even though it is or was a major trading partner, is best positioned to knock the US out of the #1 spot.
