China abusing it military might? That is truly laughable. I do have some respect for John Mearsheimer's views, with due respect to his reputation, but not after reading some of his totally warped viewpoints. This man is all out to demonize China and put it in bad light. Which is why he cannot see eye to eye with Jeffrey Sachs when it comes to debating China.
Who is the greatest abuser of military power? Who started all the wars - in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine and now about to ignite a big war with Iran coming soon? Who supports genocide in Gaza and earlier in Yemen? Yemen's genocide was swept under the carpet by the MSM.
How many military bases does China have around the world compared to the USA's 800 plus bases all around the world, that might classify China as an abuser of its military might? Countries do not build military bases in other sovereign states on the pretext of protecting them. They are to deter them from going against the interest of the USA. This is just military coercion masquerading as protection. For interests' sake, protection against who? Against imaginary and hyped-up enemies that do not exist. If I may say so, all the protection needed by countries is against the USA, the one and only rouge state in recent history.

Sometimes using 'Pharaohs, oops Fellows of prestigious universities are supposed to make the issue more digestible and believable, but those used by Channel News America have one common theme which I noticed - the propagandizing of USA power and prestige and the diminution of China's standing. Such Fellows' views have to be taken with plenty of salt.
How do the fellows of this and that earn their keeps? Who buttered their bread that probably comes from the US$300 million a year for propaganda manufacturing? They have to toe the line or lose their jobs. Which makes their views even more warped than ordinary guys on the streets. Such people have to follow an agenda or out they go. We just have to look at the MSM in the USA, where views of good analysts are not tolerated, which means out of the network they go. So much for freedom of this and that.
Of course, in the minds of the West and Anglophiles, only China resort to arm twisting to ensure the media follows the Chinese CCP's agenda. So does every other Government in the world. Western audiences must also look into the mirror before demonizing others.
The days of propaganda just getting shaft down the throats and bombarding the minds are no longer workable, with news readily available online and dissecting the credibility of such propaganda is relatively easy. This is not the days of printed news on MSM and network monopoly of dispensing news by pro-Government controlled entities. They cannot operate without being seen as in opposition to the Government line.
