More whataboutery. Let us keep to the claims made in the OP and that time period of the last few decades. Thanks.
General kvetching threads about USA are over thataway.
Only it’s not whataboutety in reference to your post.
Those areas you mentioned are well within Chinas reasonable sphere of influence.
And then you have the US.
LOL.
What irony.
In regards to the topic of the OP.
Of course anti China rhetoric has ramped up in the Western media.
China is rising much to the dismay of the West.
The transition from non state actors to supposedly near peer rivals being the main US antagonist has been gradual throughout the last decade but was accelerated by the bluntness of of an uncouth Trump administration.
Obama pivoted to the Pacific.
Trump was loud enough to alert the average joe out there that China was the new enemy.
And the democrats are hoping to deal with Russia before the U.S. sets its sights on China.
Enter the propaganda being fed to the populace.
I just tied in everything for you professor.
Also, this isn’t kvetching.
Just rather obvious observations for any reasonably educated person.
