Is it? I feel like it is an adversary of the Western governments. I don't feel like they are my adversaries. We could be friends if our governments wanted to.

The CCP at a minimum abets the shipment of fentanyl to the US. It aggressively collects personal information on every US citizen and resident. It relentlessly steals private and corporate intellectual property from the West and provides it to its own state-owned enterprises.

If you’re a citizen of the US or Europe, the Chinese government is most definitely your enemy.

Isn't all of that true for the us government in one way or another? Except maybe the drug trafficking, which is a bit farther back in us history
