oh, you are talking about china in a war? that war.
I thought you were taking about a new war.
yes, that war was started long ago, by a group of like-minded nations several hundred years ago, and is being worked at. coming to the end, soon, say 2026 / 2032 span, teotwawki / darkest interregnum.
china makes own rules for own domain, habitually, and is not obligated to obey rules of others especially by act of invasion, obviously.
as for moral high ground, I shall not debate the issue as different societies have varied definitions of what be for the greater-good.
just for example, in china, for the greater-good w/r to countering C19 means one way, and in America apparently means something else.
the difference in approaches of usa / china is that one domain ideologically kibitz to try to bully the other into adopting a foreign system of governance, and the other is just doing what is best by its own view of greater-good, practically, and leaving ideology at the foyer.
fact is that arguably china has been involved in fewer foreign wars by own volition in 6,000 years history than America in 300 years of existence.
I do not find debates simultaneously involving issues in china and America fruitful. the two are different. other nations are free to follow one or another way. china doesn't care which way nations t=choose to follow as long as china is not bothered. less true of the American approach. |
