> Russia, Iran, China, and NK are aggressive states and all actively claim that the US is the enemy

Can you find a source where the Chinese government or even a Chinese official has stated the United States as an "enemy"? I've heard "economic competitor" or "strategic rival" before, but never "enemy".

On the contrary, I have heard many U.S. politicians (as well as social media commenters like yourself) claim that China is an enemy. However, I do think the official U.S. government view towards China is "strategic rival" as well.

Generally I think most american military/state department people dont want China as an enemy but see a high chance of conflict if they invade Taiwan. Though under Trump I'm not sure we would defend Taiwan, we seem to be betraying Ukraine and other european allies

American needs an enemy. Drugs, communism, terrorism, China. I guess without something to fear it would be hard to justify spending trillions on their military.
