Make no mistake about it, Xi has shown his true colors and the CCP is hell-bent on global hegemonic power. The more economic and military power that the CCP obtains, the more that the values of freedom, human rights, and democracy will come under threat. The emperor, his cronies, and their means of obtaining more power need to smacked down.

China is simply filling the vacuum in political leadership that the USA, under Trump, is leaving in its wake.

Nothing about political leadership in China. This is brute force, authoritarian dictatorship.

I see US relations with Taiwan improving as we distance ourselves from China a bit over corona.

A market based free democracy in Asia such as Taiwan should continue to receive our support.

This is so true.

Have you seen their tech (space shuttle, fighter jets, manned rockets)? It looks all stolen tech from the US.

The only reason China has advanced tech is because they stole it.

Not true the Chinese are very intelligent people.

They do have a problem with intellectual property theft but they are almost certainly smart enough to develop any of that tech on their own. China even exceeds the US in a lot of manufacturing tech.
