It’s the trashed/smouldering streets, riots, CHAZ. Optics are very bad. For a country that went through what China did this sort of internal unrest is an indicator of massive weakness. I am not even sure they are wrong. If they had naval lift capacity they could probably land on Taiwan and US government would do nothing.

We will see what happens in US as weather warms up.
