I've been seeing a huge amount of anti-Chinese sentiment online, from obvious places like reddit, to even misinformed friends on social media falling victim to viral posts filled with misinformation.
What are we to make of this? Is this the slow march to war, by portraying them as pure evil, à la the fake story of Iraqi soldiers killing Kuwaiti babies to help get the public on board with our military response? It seems disadvantageous for the US and their allies to fight China, as we are incredibly reliant upon them economically and don't stand to gain much from the conflict.
Are these the irrational decisions of a dying empire? Or is there something else at play?
I think the only one they might get to go along relatively easily is the UK, because they seem pretty desperate to be the US' good lap dog, so that the US in exchange is nice to them in the future when it comes to trade deals and all that.
What if, hear me out, the Anglosphere Boys got together for one last job?..
