China can't control the US setting up military infrastructure in its own province which threatens its own existence and national security. What if China started developing military opposition in Alaska, Hawaii, Florida, or California? Wouldn't the US lose their shit and see it as a threat to its own existence? Then why is it fair that we are doing the same in Taiwan?
The US is the one sanctioning China and hurting its own economy. China is responding to those sanctions, but they would rather work peacefully and encourage mutual trade with us. But the US doesn't want its own citizens to benefit from China's affordable electric vehicles because US's own car manufacturers would have to lower their overinflated prices.
