So in other words, the moment you read anything that disagrees with you, you stop thinking immediately and reflexively shut off any and all engagement? Sounds like you’ve holed yourself up in an echo chamber of your own making. I already addressed all of these subjects either here or elsewhere, directly, such as Xinjiang here, Taiwan here, Hong Kong here, and Tibet here. I already explained the Belt and Road Initiative in the comment you claimed to stop reading at the first sentence.
My claim isn’t ridiculous though, nor does it have a disregard for facts. In fact, I supported my claims overwhelmingly with western sources that are already biased against China. You would know that if you read my comment, but you won’t let yourself even look at information even from the west that runs counter to your fragile worldview. What makes me a part of an echo chamber, when you’re the one unwilling to even glance at western sources that disagree with you?
Then actually engage with the points they made and debunk them if they’re so ridiculous. All this is doing is making it obvious you don’t actually know enough about the subject to even have this argument.
Because Philippines has US military bases that threaten China’s sovereignty and control of its waters. Why are there US military ships around Chinese waters and not vice-versa?
If you can’t understand how the numerous Chinese military exercises like this are a specific threat to Taiwan, then I’m not sure you’re capable of reason
Please provide similar evidence of threats to Chinese territory (besides the soviet union stealing their land).
You’re right, they’re not comparable, China hasn’t engaged in military action for the past 50 years whereas the US hasn’t stopped being at war in that same period of time and has just some weeks ago started bombing another sovereign country from its surrounding military bases

No. The moment someone makes a claim that is utterly ridiculous in its disregard for facts, I disregard their reasoning.
If you said “the Earth isn’t round to begin with”, you’d earn an identical reaction.
Sounds like you’re projecting.

Why is china ramming Philippine boats in waters that aren’t their territory?
Because Philippines has US military bases that threaten China’s sovereignty and control of its waters. Why are there US military ships around Chinese waters and not vice-versa?
Would it be appropriate for US ships to ram Chinese ships in Chinese waters?
There are no threats to Chinese territorial waters; this is happening in Philippine territory.
Then you surely agree there are no threats to Taiwan by China?
If you can’t understand how the numerous Chinese military exercises like this are a specific threat to Taiwan, then I’m not sure you’re capable of reason

Surely not a threat to China at all!!
If you think these two things are even remotely the same, you’re not thinking critically at all.
