If you want US to thwart China, then you have to be consistent and do that to every emerging world power.

China isn’t emerging

That's consistent in a world where we consider emerging powers equivalent. But that's not the case. China is more threatening to our moral framework than the United States was to Britain in the early 20th century. And were China a bastion of rational virtue, we might feel very different about their rise.

Yes. We are not obligated to relinquish our position to the first nation that trots along. We can and should wait for one that we consider worthy.

Why do you have to be the first nation? Why do you feel that you need to compete against other nations? I thought we should try and foster friendliness and cooperation and all that good stuff on the international front.

Nancy Pelosi has major stakes in Tech companies.

Her visit to Taiwan has ulterior motive, aka Silicon Valley Interests.

Let's not forget Taiwan is a major player in tech hardware.
