Yli.think you make a reasonable point, but it feels like choosing between getting stabbed in the left leg vs the right leg.

If it were the US vs another democratic country, I would feel like that too.

I'm particularly concerned with China (and Russia) because:

  • They are not a democratic country.
  • They do not have freedom of speech like most countries
  • As far as I perceive, they are generally enemies of well-intentioned countries.

I might have a different perspective though. I'm a fairly recent US immigrant from Canada.

Edit: I'd like to add, my tone may come across wrong over written text, I'm just trying to understand people's overall perspective and whether mine is different, I'm not trying to argue and I'm not upset at you nor any of the commenters I've seen on similar posts.
