Well, shortly after the Ukraine disarming their nukes, Russia marched in to Ukraine, while Obama & Biden sat on their hands failing to keep their promise to protect Ukraine. Why? $$$ Ukraine's ex-President stole $1B from Ukraine, then vanished, later to be seen living in...Russia! Obama lives in a $18M mansion in Martha's Vinyard. Biden's family is wildly wealthy. Just follow the money trail.

Under the terms of the agreement, the nukes belong to Russia, the declared Soviet successor state, the nukes never belonged to Ukraine, and they sent back to Russia.
There was no promises to protect Ukraine, Ukraine and the US have no military alliance.

Look at the 1M Uyghurs who China has placed in "retraining camps". China is practicing eugenics on the Uyghurs so they cannot reproduce, and are harvesting their organs for transplants into Chinese citizens who need them.

All internal issues.
You would like China to interfere with the US gov and local entities killings of civilians? I mean there are massive protests here about it, imagine China sending troops in or taking some sort of sanctions actions?

Their largest Navy is in terms of how many ships they state they have, which could be something as simple as a barge, lol (if you want some examples, look how the US Navy was classifying things as "ships" during Reagan's 600 ship Navy build up).
Additionally China has no projection of power.

China is basically trying to mimic what the US has been doing for decades and all through the Cold War.
