Attacking China will not solve US woes, but worsen them

Many may still remember the hilarious 2015 HuffPost Entertainment video in which previous US President Donald Trump says, "China" 234 times. It was produced just weeks after he launched his 2016 campaign. Blaming China for the US' woes characterized his four years of presidency.

While many expected incumbent US President Joe Biden to act differently, that has not been the case judging by his performance in the past four months.

Sadly, attacking China appears to be the only weapon that Biden has to try and galvanize a divided US society and sell his ambitious $6 trillion spending bill that most Republicans oppose. After years of fear-mongering about China, the only consensus among Washington politicians is to scapegoat China, by hyping up the "China threat" theory.
