A Few Observations
It’s sabotage, when it happens to Russia, but terrorism almost anywhere else! It’s spying, when it’s China, but it’s reconnaissance (or ISTAR) when the USG (US Government) does it! It’s freedom of navigation when the USG does it (despite not ratifying UNCLOS) but if China did it, it would be aggression! As I said before, the majority of those who want to stop arming Ukraine just want war with China!

Why the West is Whitewashing Terrorism in Vietnam and Myanmar
As US-Chinese tensions grow and as it becomes increasingly clear the US is unable to compete with China head-to-head in terms of development, trade, and investment, especially in regions along China’s periphery, the US is resorting increasingly to asymmetrical measures including political coercion, subversion, and even violence.

Cuba to Host Secret Chinese Spy Base Focusing on U.S. [according to no one]
The U.S. has intervened before to stop foreign powers from extending their influence in the Western Hemisphere, most notably during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. The U.S. and the Soviet Union came to the brink of nuclear war after the Soviets deployed nuclear-capable missiles to Cuba, prompting a U.S. Navy quarantine of the island.
The Soviets backed down and removed the missiles. A few months later, the U.S. quietly removed intermediate-range ballistic missiles from Turkey that the Soviets had complained about.
