Now Is Not The Time For Bashing China

While I agree with this basic statement, I disagree with the idea that Russian de-escalation should be the objective behind improving relations with China, as this signals to Russia that we are uniting only out of common fear of Russia, which will only further embolden Russia. On the contrary, now is the best timing to simultaneously open as many additional fronts of war against Russia as possible in short order, of which China could potentially be one:

just as Japan could be another:

Germany could be another:

and so on. This sends Russia the signal that we are not uniting out of common fear of Russia, but uniting to take back once and for all everything it has stolen from us over the centuries!

The US should be sincerely happy to see China take back Outer Manchuria, and must publicly and explicitly communicate such to China. Anything less and China can be expected to remain suspicious that the US merely wants to use China to help Ukraine, and that the US at the end of the day cares only about Ukraine, not about China (which at present is probably close to the truth).
