Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Name any country that China has invaded in the this decade compared to the US.
It is just so depressing the continous negative propaganda about China, mostly perpetuated by the US, where if you come visit China, visa free for most countries BTW, you'll be amazed.
I know the obsession with the media and commentators about Taiwan. Almost begging China to invade because than they can point at them as the new evil and say 'I told you so'.
However anyone who really follows the political situation in China, knows Xi is in all kinds of trouble and has no support for any invasion or war. From within the highest level of government. The focus is on economic growth and development.
China is playing its soft power well. After the US abandoned the WHO, China stepped in and pledged 500 million US$. But this doesn't suit the narrative so never gets reported.

If you are in South East Asia, China is pretty belligerent in claiming the islands in South China Sea (Nine dash line)
But not to the level of fucking with trade and our livelihoods... So yea, fuck the US
Yes but the South China Sea dispute has been around since 1899. It's just been in focus more now due to more intervention by China.
The CPC's policy towards Taiwan has been for peaceful voluntary integration since the '70s. They don't want to go to war and kill their own people. The whole thing has always been western projection. They see the world as territory to conquer, so surely China is the same way
