US President Donald Trump on Friday warned Taiwan against formally declaring its independence in an interview with Fox News shortly before the end of his visit to China. During their meetings, Chinese President Xi Jinping had pressed him against supporting the self-ruling island.

It's really interesting how Republicans I spoke to at the time of the election talked about how we needed to "beat China." It seems like now we're kowtowing to China.

They'll twist themselves into double-knots coming up with any absurd "justification" they can to avoid ever admitting they were wrong.

It's a place with only one political party, which controls the entire media landscape, and anyone who speaks out against said party can be jailed.
It's a republican dream.

That's what I'm saying, they no longer think of them as enemies, because they're living their dream.
Meanwhile in my country, we're not so stupid:

Weird that so much more of them see China as an enemy compared to Democrats, and that the number of Democrats who see China as an enemy is also declining.
Also your graph cuts off at 2020 lol.

Yeah I didn't realize this was a Republican vs Democrat "who is better" thing.
And I don't think Canadians' opinion of China has changed much in the past 6 years.

Lol, what? You said that Republicans love China because it's authoritarian, when the reality is that they hate it more than Democrats. I have no idea how you got from there to it being a "who is better thing." I'm just pointing out the fact that you're wrong.
You're dead wrong about Canada too btw:

So, continuing the successful policy the US has followed for the past 40+ years.
