Well, yes. Just like you're allowed to say who your biggest enemy or your best friend is, even if your biggest enemy or best friend don't feel the same way about you.

Anyways, who do you think China would say their #1 geopolitical adversary is?

As far as i can tell, the Chinese care mostly about building and investing. They're aware that the US sees them as their "number one enemy" (what a childish, irresponsible way to refer to a nation of a billion, mostly innocent, people), and that the US has maintained its global domination since WWII by political assassinations, bombings, proxy wars, and half-assed failed invasions.

My advice? Stop using words like "geopolitical adversary" to mask what you really want to say. This is life, not a chessboard.

Please tell me what I really want to say, since you apparently know me better than I do.
