Good stuff Matt. It seems to me the big push to re-establish China as an archetypal cultural and political villian got going after China stood up to Trump's bullying. As with the acceptance of Martial Law in Canada, Canadians and other Western populations buy into these narratives terrifyingly easy. The egregious 1000 day detention of Meng Wanzhou in Canada was cheered on by the drooling masses. When the mass majority of people can so easily be led by the noses... I'm not sure that any amount of reason, historical references or appeal to decency will make a difference. That said, thank goodness for Substack and eloquent never-say-die people like yourself who still have cognitive independence.
