So let me get this straight. The President of the United States encouraged the Chinese to build concentration camps in Xinjiang. The Chinese built concentration camps in Xinjiang. In response, we complain about human rights violations and launch a cold war that could easily turn into a hot war. Increasingly, I feel that America is just a giant lunatic asylum.
For years, the Chinese have complained that American criticism over human rights was not sincere, and instead was a pretext to try to restrain them from becoming a great power. I have no doubt that many Americans (including me) are sincere in their criticism of Chinese human rights violations. But given the behavior of our former and future president, can you blame them for thinking it’s all just an excuse to hamstring their high tech sector?
PS. Campus protesters seem determined to replace Biden with a guy who wants to put Muslims into concentration camps. I guess they’ve learned nothing since 1968. Remember Nixon?
