Is war with China inevitable? From a Hua Bin-Mike Whitney interview at unz.com:
1– How do you explain the relentless anti-China bias in western media?
Hua Bin– I used to read the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times and the Economist almost daily for 20 years. Their coverage of China was always off the mark, in not downright misleading, for someone who live and work in the country.
But starting from Trump’s first presidency, the anti-China bias became epidemic and their reports and analysis patently dishonest, often outright laughable in the cartoonish depiction of a country that no doubt has been the most improved and successful in the last half a century. I switched to social media and the so-called alternative media for news and information.
In my view, the anti-China bias is multi-faceted and a mixed of malice and incompetence. Malice outweighs incompetence by a fat margin. After all, the reporters and analysts are generally intelligent. You can only understand their reporting as intentional distortion and misinterpretation.
There are probably an inexhaustible number of reasons for such bias but I’ll just highlight a few –
First, western media suffers from a broad-based ignorance about China. Few mainstream reporters on the China beat can speak or read Chinese. Many are not even based inside China, including WSJ, NYT, BBC, and Fox.
The general knowledge among western reporters is shockingly poor about Chinese history, its political and economic system, and its technological and economic policies, even among those with long tenure and impeccable pedigrees. This is a judgement I already formed even before the western media turned openly hostile in mid 2010s.
Listened to pods about China and Turkey and the land of Sun Tzu does better with peace and prosperity.
CCP wants to do business not go to WAR.
Taiwan is a part of China and the five and half million people they have in FUSA could be some serious disrupters, not to mention the supply chain.
