In other words, you hold the exact same view of the MSM talking points and propoganda networks you continuously copy and paste right here.
China is bad. China is evil. "Dictator" "Nazi" "facist" blah, blah blah. Same horseshit. Same storyline. Different country.
"China wants to reunify Taiwan," "Taiwan isn't a country," "Taiwan is China." These are not Washington talking points; they are Chinese talking points.
You want to hear it straight from President Xi's mouth? Here ya go:

Here he says "we are not committed to abandoning the use of force and we reserve the option of all necessary measures" to take Taiwan:

Why you would want to deny the words that come right out of Xi's mouth and call them Washington talking points, I'm not sure other than you simply don't know what you're talking about and are paranoid.
Putin has said Ukraine isn't a country and Ukrainians aren't a people and you want to say without reading it that he's talking about "genetics":

China's building this massive navy with more battle ships than us and more tonnage than us and you say they aren't a naval superpower, that the CSIS is propaganda.
Brookings institute damn sure have agendas.
You're entire source circle is composed completely from a tiny group of people in Washington and it's influence. Nothing else.
poganda copy and pasted from the same tiny circle jerk of people you support.

You see the difference? One is a bipartisan pro-America factually based think tank and the other is pure opinion and anti-America activism.
Look idiot.
China doesn't want war with Washington.
There are in fact people in China who want war with Washington and predict war, especially the Chinese generals/admirals:
"Lou Yuan, deputy chief of the Chinese Academy of Military Sciences and a prolifically hawkish military commentator who supports a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Last month, Yuan told an audience at a Chinese military-industrial conference that China could solve tensions over the South East China Sea by
sinking two U.S. aircraft carriers.
This would kill 10,000 American sailors. “What the United States fears the most is taking casualties,” said Lou. “We’ll see how frightened America is.”
Admiral Lou Yuan is China’s Curtis LeMay. LeMay, the U.S. Air Force general who torched Japanese cities and later headed Strategic Air Command, was notorious for his bellicosity. In the 1950s and during the Cuban Missile Crisis, he tried to get the U.S. to launch a nuclear first strike against...

I'm not saying this is what China as a whole wants - if you watch the Naval Institute lecture they say that while China prefers to take Taiwan peacefully by 2049, over this window of opportunity they have until 2030 to take it militarily these voices are going to grow louder and more numerous.
And where are those refugee numbers you keep dodging?
Why does some redneck in rural Louisiana whose been on a 2 year online anti-Biden anti-America binge care about European refugees?
