BTW, just the fact that China is hiding something in Xinjiang and Tibet and we don't know what exactly is enough to impose sanctions.

There's no presumption of innocence here, it is not a criminal court.

Keeping up with the tradition to invade countries off invented suspicion of WMD.

I doubt most sane people are asking for an invasion.

Most people do not want any war, even if it is against CCP. However the current administration seems to be pushing for at least a limited skirmish. US airforce planes have been flying 100 miles off the coast of major Chinese cities. It is less reported in US news outlets though.

US spy planes flying near china is definitely not new, nor limited to this administration:

You're not wrong. Though following your line of thought, US sacking Beijing isn't new or limited to this administration either https://thediplomat.com/2015/06/when-americans-ruled-beijing...
