    I agree with everything you’ve said.

    I’m also embarrassed by our stance on gaza.

    … and yet, the US is our only chance at staying on the right side of China both politically and militarily. We don’t have a lot of credit to squander on doing what’s “right”.

      Apart from silly trade wars, which are less than the USA did to Canada under trump, China has not been an aggressive trade partner. We ally with the US due to historical links. Similarly with the UK. China is a risk as they are large, powerful and their political system and values don’t match ours, but if you take xenophobia aside, they have helped.us.mich more than hindered. There are few dead Australians from wars China got us involved in.
