I should note that the Chinese government has also been doing its level best to resort to disinformation warfare in both Taiwan and the US in order to convince the people of both nations that their leaders are weak. For them it's not always about which candidate gets elected as long as the people are thrown into chaos and distrustful of their government, not like the glorious People's Republic's faith in their beautiful dear leader Winnie the Pooh. Who knows their true agenda with all this disinformation though? If that somehow fails then that's how I can see them resorting to actual warfare.
Yes, that's also an important point.
There are also theories that China helps distribute fentanyl in the US.
I haven't delved into this topic at all, so I don't know if it's more true or more Western propaganda (remember that both sides use aggressive propaganda).
But I have to admit that it would be a funny irony, considering the opium war.
The roles would be reversed.
In addition, we have such controversial topics as "dumbing down" Western society with various tricks.
China is a fascinating country and region of the world, but I hope it doesn't grab all the power.
Living under the American boot is better than living under the boot of China.
