Maybe China isn’t the bad guy. They have goals. Goals are good. We’re mainly into destruction and extracting capital. Wild thought, maybe we’ve never been the good guys. :o

I don't think goals are inherently good... Hitler had goals...

I believe you’re referencing Hitler to the incorrect country. China’s moving towards socialism, very slowly. The US is going straight fash at the speed of light.

I think is more a generalization about the praise of "goals" rather than associating him with anyone in particular.

Ultimately all the major powers are being graded on a curve and are generally only "good" when compared to some more evil major player. The US may be slipping to be worse than China, but China would still be worse than a number of European nations.

I understand, I wasn’t very specific about the goals. The China-bad non-sense just gets out of hand. The US is investing billions to ensure we all think China is some sort of boogie man. Just normal capitalism stuff.
