In the UK our government mouthpiece(the BBC)has recently been upping the rhetoric against China-using phrases such as "rapidly deteriorating relations"
I am always very wary when the BBC starts trying to direct peoples thoughts,especially when they try to make whatever country/leader the new boogeyman.
It often means they are prepping us for escalations.
If the government grew some balls and publically blamed china for the pandemic(which is what they are doing behind closed doors),I could respect that-but they are using it as a political manouvre and pretending they give a # about the uigers/huweai.
They never gave a crap about those issues before,but now all of a sudden they are pretending to make a big deal about it,when really they are trying to give china a bloody nose because they willingly spread the virus into a pandemic.
If the government actually gave a # about the horrific human rights abuses/totalitarian expansion dreams of the chinese state,then they wouldn't have spent decades enabling them through trade and cozying up to them and flat out ignoring the horrors that have been occuring.
I don't want a war with china-but I don't want our economy to be reliant on them either.
Screw globalisation-its a con,and hugley damaging to everyone execpt the very rich few.

No need for war. If there is to be war then Chinese Communists will fire the first shots.
Simply isolate the Chinese Communists economically and diplomatically and destroy their influence networks domestically.

China and Iran cooperate only reluctantly. Their relations with China are strained because of China’s relationship with Pakistan, who Iran loathes.
It would not be difficult to remove Iran from China’s sphere of influence diplomatically.
