So when Trump decides to start rolling his tanks across our border, do you think we would then be aligned with China for security? It seems NATO will be a distant memory by that time and Europe will likely be up in their eyeballs in their own issues and unable to offer support.

This is consistent with Chinese foreign policy and their interpretation of sovereignty.
No I don’t want to get into an argument over Taiwan, because fundamentally China has a different definition of Taiwanese sovereignty from the West, which is internally consistent with their framework of sovereignty and security.

It’s in China’s best interest for the United States to act like this and for them to be seen as stable and supporting the world order as it is. It’s how they get more business with countries like us, or Brazil, and have more influence.
Xi is a lot of awful things, but he isn’t an idiot
