I do not want another Cold War, thank you very much. China isn’t a threat.

Shorthand for Neoconservative. Generally very warhawkish on foreign policy - They had a major hand in the prolonging of the Vietnam War. Dick Cheney and Rumsfeld aligned closely with them throughout Bush Jr.'s presidency, too, contributing to the thoroughly disastrous Iraq War and War on Terror at large. I am eager to avoid any confrontations they would approve of.
