Résumé

Why are so many politicians in the West so hawkish about China? Why have they become veritable China hawks?From the repeated use of all their shrill and alarming words against China, it is quite obvious that these China hawks are petrified of the thought of China conquering the whole world and reducing them to slavery!But they should not have been so worried because China doesn't have the means nor the desire to conquer the world.
Surely China is not Hitler's Germany. Taiwan is an issue that the China hawks have doggedly exploited as an important reason for the West to act decisively in unison against China. While the China hawks have convinced themselves that China is planning and preparing to invade Taiwan, the fact is that China is unlikely to want an unnecessary war to disrupt its economic progress. China hawks have repeatedly argued that the best way to deter China from attacking Taiwan is to arm Taiwan to the teeth with western weapons.
Little do they know that, as exemplified in an ancient Chinese proverb on the self-conflicting argument about using the best shield against the best spear, this type of circular argument is self-deceiving. In the worst case scenario of Taiwan declaring independence, China is more likely to mount a total blockade of Taiwan Strait than to invade Taiwan. Hopefully, in time, USA will move to adopt a more rational policy towards China.
And the rest of the West will fall in line with the new realities. When that happens, China hawk will become an extinct species.
