China's the easy scapegoat for anything political at this point, right or wrong. Its the sexy thing to do these days by politicians to gain easy political points. Not saying there aren't issues with China, but all these exaggerated takes makes it hard to believe what's actually a threat and what is made up rhetoric meant to whip the uneducated masses into a frenzy. History has shown time and time again, to succeed politically, you need to build up a big bad enemy to rally the people against. It used to be the Soviets. Now it's China.
