Enemy is entirely US's choice

China threatening taiwan is not the usa's choice.

China's consistent copyright theft is not the USA's choice.

There's plenty to say on both sides of why they're enemies. Do not spout lies that portray china as innocent please.

"Copyright" theft. Hahaha.

"Please agree to obey our rules controlled by our corpos."

It's an actively hostile act, regardless of what your beliefs are on the copyright system.

the copyright system is hostile

the us has recognized taiwan as part of china since the 70s.

it was their choice to flip on this issue, and its also their choice to meddle all the way over there in the first place.

us copyright laws are frankly draconian.

China's desire for unification is not directly a threat. US sponsored divisiveness in Taiwan is meant to control Taiwanese into unreasonable acts. Current President is US puppet, but parliamentary majority is against suicide. Provoking the destruction of Taiwan (which US promises to do if it/Taiwan were to lose against China), comes from Taiwanese declaration of some kind.

China’s consistent copyright theft is not the USA’s choice.

These are 20 year old accusations. China today is innovating on its own.

Do not spout lies that portray china as innocent please.

You could have criticisms of China, and any other state. if the purpose of any criticism is to manufacture an enemy, then it is automatically disingenous, compared to a request for them to do better, and then instead of repeating 20 or 40 year old criticism, having a willingness to notice if the problem behaviour has ceased.

You're suggesting that innocent vs guilty of your accusations deserves an enemy status. Is US guilty of worse? If so, you should help China overthrow US government. Most usually, hate comes before throwing any and all shit you can imagine against your hate target.

With important manufacturing that would inevitably get destroyed in a war, it's a direct threat.

These are 20 year old accusations. China today is innovating on its own.

They're a whole hell of a lot younger than 20 years old. It's recent issue.

having a willingness to notice if the problem behaviour has ceased.

Also this, you think it's just fine to not pay restitution? It's also not ceased. Same thing, steal the design produce it cheaper with slave labor or borderline slave labor is ongoing.

You're suggesting that innocent vs guilty of your accusations deserves an enemy status.

It's enough to establish china has a hostile foreign state, yes.

Is US guilty of worse?

Irrelevant. This is about if they did things to establish themselves as a hostile foreign power. You're pretending they did no aggression, that's what I'm referring to.
