> if you can’t co operate with other nations ..

What’s the definition of “cooperate” and the definition of “other nations” here?

If by “cooperate” you mean “do everything the US says like a good client state” and by “other nations” you mean the U.S and our closest allies, then yes, I would agree with you.

But if you go beyond that, the US will do everything to sabotage China’s relationship with other countries because we cannot let our hegemony be threatened by a rising global power.

For example, did you know that Israel and China always had a great relationship, so much so Israel was selling weapons tech to China until U.S stepped in and forced Israel to stop by threatening to sanction them, our closest ally in the Middle East?

China literally just brokered a historical agreement between Saudi Arabia and Iran to restore diplomatic ties, thus lowering the risk for conflict in the region. But I bet you haven’t heard of that because such news tend to be downvoted in our echo chamber these days.

Either way, if you are really interested in this topic, travel a bit to some other places in the world other than Western countries and you’d suddenly realize the world view for most of the planet’s population is very different than that of the West.

The West is in an enviable position today because we hold most of the world’s wealth and power with a small portion of the population because we pillaged the whole world for a good few centuries. But it’s beneficial to go out of this bubble and get some different perspectives.
