> China hasn't launched any wars in decades
The Chinese Communist Party hasn't had the ability to launch wars for decades, though that has changed. The CCP takes pride in aggression toward other countries; look up 'wolf diplomats', for example. The CCP also censors critical speech in businesses worldwide, including the American film industry. Their military (it's the CCP's military, not the people of China's) regularly threatens India (including occasional shooting conflicts) and Taiwan, with forces sent into their neighbors' territories, and at least in the recent past, Japan. They've also used force to sieze parts of the South China Sea from neighbors such as the Philippines, Vietnam, and from international waters.
Internally, the CCP has used security forces to brutally oppress people in Tibet (including a takeover of the Buddhist religion there), Xinjiang (Uyghurs), and Hong Kong, as well as many other civilians and groups not associated with any nationality or region (e.g., the Falun Gong). They also murdered people in Tiananmen Square, as we know well, on June 4, 1989.
We should be protecting the freedom of Chinese people - from the CCP and from intolerance in our own country - not demonizing them. The problem is an organization that happens to be Chinese, the Chinese Communist Party. In fact, the people of China are their main victims. Americans of Chinese descent have no more to do with the CCP than Americans of Russian descent are responsible for Putin. I hope more Chinese people come to freedom in the US - I was hoping we'd take in a lot from Hong Kong.
