Eh, all international (and even intranational to a large degree) politics is about power and always has been. We aren't the "free good guys," though China is absolutely authoritarian and controlling. Looking at it through a moral lense leads to the wrong ideas though. Morality has never come into play. If there's a potential threat to power (even if imagined), it'll be defended against. It doesn't matter what country we're referring to, nor is that unreasonable action to take.

Totally agree. Which is why I truly despise nation-states and the people who make me pretend to believe in them.
