Not sure what your question is about "login?"

I do know that China and others have pointed out several times that the US is dependent on them for antibiotics and other medical supplies. I also know that (so far) China has not acted on that reality.

You make a good point though: We are not exactly on friendly terms even before the tariffs. Do you really think we should further irritate a country we are currently so dependent on?

As far as expansion goes China has nothing on us, they build a little island while we offer to acquire/annex/invade an area roughly the size of Russia.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
