Yes. I'm ok with us treating China as our #1 intrinsic threat. We should be bankrupting them but since Nixon, we've done nothing but bankroll their rise militarily and economically. MAGA wants to see the downfall of the CCP. So do I.
Well, I don’t think that way. The “downfall of the CCP” would likely lead to disaster. Warlords around China, many with anti-west inclinations, would suddenly have control of nukes. I thus believe that open people-to-people communication between our two countries is the best way to preserve peace and promote freedom. Banning, for example, WeChat or China Daily would essentially cut such ties.
Moreover, short of declaration of war, I oppose granting Congress the right to assign enemy status to foreign “adversaries,” or “adversary” status to foreign competitors.
It appears that our politicians aim for endless war with China. I guess it helps keep them in power.
