Indeed. Always reminds me of Chomsky's description of how the west characterizes terms like 'terrorism'. It's the "heads I win, tails you lose," version of foreign policy.

What the Chinese military has been doing in the straights of Taiwan has been a major escalation of over 50 years of peace. Taiwan has done nothing to threaten the position with China, this is 100% politically motivated by the CCP.

Just because the US does some pretty distasteful things with their military doesn't give others carte blanche.
