When the enemy is running away, you chase.That is all what China is doing.
The trade war, the tech war, the pandemic, China is pressing its advantage. That is what they should do, if they feel they have the advantage.
One fact that cannot be overlooked, as of today, China is still in a trade war with the United States, and in a tech war too.
Although, no one is getting killed in this war, decisions still must be made that way, like it is a war.
Now is the time to go on an offensive against weaker players. Seems like a logical move.
Canada, Australia, India, have bore the brunt of recent Chinese friction between them.
Perhaps that could lead to some unfavorable circumstances down the road, way down the road, but today that does not matter.
China did not start the trade war, and China did not start the tech war.
If they are coming after you, then you should go after them.
But for some people in this world, China going after others, even in a war like situation, is not allowed like that article writer.
Then they talk like some grade 3 school teacher admonishing the children of the class.
