Conservative China Paranoia Rooted In Slim Historical Knowledge

The present view from the right is that China is the new evil empire. This applies across the board -- not just to trade, business and economic matters, but also foreign affairs and geostrategic concerns, human rights, intellectual property rights and so forth. The result is that anything and any act with the name China attached to it becomes immediately suspect to the political right. Hence, 5G will allow the Chinese government to spy on all of us, Chinese interests in Asia are an existential threat to the U.S. and must be opposed everywhere and all the time, China is out to destroy our economy and take over the leadership of the world, the Chinese cannot be trusted at all, they cheat, they wish to bury us. It's like the Cold War redux.
