Well that’s fair enough. If anyone believes the US has ever gone to war because of human rights violations then they are pure fantasists. Is the US using these claims as a pretext for drumming up anti-China sentiment? Sure, I think that’s likely.
The US doesn’t give two shits about human rights abuses when they or their allies are involved. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that the claims are false. It’s just that the Americans have selective blindness when it comes to recognizing genocide.
But I don’t think the US really wants a war with China. They just want to keep them at bay for another 10 years until the Chinese economy implodes. The Chinese are facing a demographic cliff due to the long term effect of the one child policy, and even after the policy was lifted the birth rate was/is still very low. But I’d be happy to be proved wrong if China can figure out how deal with a shrinking economy and population decline without deteriorating living conditions for their people. We’re all going to have to face up to shrinking economies and shrinking populations eventually.
