What am I am I missing here?
They want to rule the world and they don't care who or how many people they kill. They have no problem killing their own citizens. As their recent (post-WWII) history shows.

Protests in Hong Kong, Taiwan, the COVID-19 pandemic and accusations China's engaged in a genocide against the Uighur Muslims are sowing deeper divisions in an already strained relationship between China and the United States. With Beijing one of America's top concerns, President Joe Biden has sought to strike a stern tone, while China sees much of America's actions and comments to be an encroachment on its sovereignty.

Seems China feels more threatened by Biden than Trump -- hmmm.

Because Biden is brain dead and can't be reasoned with. Trump at least wanted to reach deals and agreements that were mutually beneficial to both nations. Biden just wants to sniff young children's scalps. How can they possibly negotiate with someone like that?

We wouldn't have had a Vietnam War if LBJ wasn't so concerned about his image and worries of appearing soft on COMMUNISM!, egged on by those who made BIG $$$ from that war. .

A cold war would also be appropriate because time is on our side. The US just has to wait for China to "turn Japanese" demographically.
^^^^^^

Nobody wins in a nuclear war.

Go ahead and believe that... The Left, with their allies in the MSM and big tech did EVERYTHING to block Trump at every move... To include LYING to the gullible and easily misled American people about everything COVID-19 related.

Convince me that I'm wrong.

To say ANYBODY is afraid of Potato Biden is a joke, which is solely based on ZERO facts. Heck, half of America isn't even sure if Biden is the one calling any of the shots for the United States and I'm pretty sure half of this planet is thinking the same thing... So much for the "Leader of the Free World" who can't even string three sentences together UNLESS he's fantasizing about 9 year old little girls... Looking like they're 19.

I don't think so, and according to the latest article I could find from a mostly unbiased source, it seems to me that this has not been proven.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/wuhan-l...ic-11621871125
A lot of us have been saying since the beginning this was leaked from the lab. Wet-market my ass. In this case, there have been reports, but they've either been buried, or the person reporting has been discredited - something the media everywhere has gotten WAY too good at doing. The simplest explanation is usually the correct one. Even without 100% proof, knowing they had the virus in a lab in that area, knowing labs have had accidental leaks before, seeing that wet markets have existed for years and years without an animal-to-human jump, the question is why anyone would have believed the story about the virus jumping to humans through something a person ate?

Intentional leak? I doubt it. Again, simplest explanation. China doesn't have enough to gain from releasing it intentionally, and too much to lose if found out.
