My favorite is how China assumes anyone friendly towards Taiwan is a US puppet, as if the US is oppressing every free, democratic nation in the world to do their bidding

Yep! And that argument about when the anti-Westerns say that China builds developing nations hospitals and the West only gives them lectures is so weak. If China wanted to do that for free for the sake of reciprocity, then that’s great! But they’re debt-trapping these nations. They seized that port in Sri Lanka after they failed to pay the debts. China and the West need to work together on developing the rest of the undeveloped world, but their desire to outcompete with the West for influence in the region does not benefit them. China is in for a world of hurt over the next couple decades. They need to focus on their healthcare challenges coming up with an aging population.
