I genuinely is curious to see the exact same propaganda rolled out against China that Americans deployed against the other Eastern Rim industrial states. India is, similarly, getting a ton of this treatment.
The big difference between China and India/Japan/Korea is the failure of the Chinese government to placidly ingest western neoliberal economic policy and stagnate their economies for a decade as a result.
Absolutely, China being communist makes them the enemy.
But to be fair, capitalism is also a declared enemy to communist countries.
Both are equally wrong.
Colonialism tends to be the explicit professed enemy. Communism, as a practical economic policy, revolves around securing domestic resources for the benefit of the local public. China's managed this phenomenally.
What Chinese policymakers object to is extraction of Chinese surplus at a loss. And foreign capitalists hate this, because it cuts into their profits.
