Is America seeking to suppress and contain China? You're God damned right we are.
Xi Jinping is angry, accusing America of trying to "suppress and contain" China:
"Western countries, led by the United States, have implemented all-round containment, encirclement and suppression against us, bringing unprecedentedly severe challenges to our country’s development," the Chinese leader said.
To be fair, America helped China develop for decades, even ignoring all the espionage.
And when China developed, instead of mellowing out it got more expansively aggressive, suppressed its own people with technology supplementing brutality, couldn't wait to stomp its boot on Hong Kong ahead of schedule, and accelerated its cultural genocide of minorities.
All while stealing more and more economic, military, and personal data from America and the West.
So you're damned right we seek to suppress and contain the China we got and not the China we hoped for.
And most of China's neighbors
feel the same way. Go figure.
