Do you really believe China puts money over sovereignty when it comes to dealing with the USA?

Of course! What has China done on Taiwan yet?
Nothing!
Without the US transferring its manufacturing to China 30 years ago, China’s rise would not be possible.
China was also at odds with the former USSR, hence became a natural ally of the US. The US outsourcing its manufacturing over to China was its reward for opposing the USSR.

The world was different during cold war. In 2024, China considers America as their number one enemy. All of Chinese military preparations are aimed at defeating the US armed forces in South China sea. The reason China doesn't engage with the USA in a war is because of its limitations in power projection capabilities. China has a grand plan to surpass the US in military might within 2050. We will see USA as a declining power 2050 onwards.

Oh bhai, let’s get real here. Chinese are an introverted civilization since their beginnings from 3 millennium ago no?
They are businessmen, not an empire! Never were and never will be.
Leave the empire building to the iranis. They are challenging the US along with Russia, not China. China does exactly what the US says.

Iran is too small geographically, population and resource wise to be a superpower. If Iran plays its cards wisely, it could become a regional power by 2050.

This is Iran today bhai:
What is Iran’s ‘axis of resistance’ and why is it uniting in fury against the US and Israel?
The Shia militant groups operating in Iraq, Lebanon and other parts of the Middle East share political and ideological connections, yet they also have their own nationalist goals.
theconversation.com
Iran's already bigger than India. Chinese can't fight, and don't want to either. They are passive/ peaceful businessmen like the Hindus. Not empire builders.
Irans already eclipsed Sawdi Judea, Al-Turkiya and Pakistan combined in geo-politics long ago. These wars you see in the ME are a confirmation of this reality. Soon Iran will make Israel its toady and the muslim world will look on in dismay.

US aircraft flies over Taiwan Strait
China deploys air, naval forces
Beijing said yesterday it deployed air and naval forces to monitor a US military plane as it flew over politically sensitive waters separating China and Taiwan.
"A US Navy P-8A Poseidon transited the Taiwan Strait in international airspace on November 26, 2024 (local time)," the US Navy's 7th Fleet said in a statement.
"The aircraft's transit of the Taiwan Strait demonstrates the United States' commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific."
China said it had monitored the aircraft and condemned the flight for being "openly hyped".
"US remarks distort legal principles, confuse the public and mislead international perception," said Cao Jun, a senior colonel for China's Eastern Theatre Air Force.

China says it ‘firmly opposes’ US military aid to Taiwan
Agence France-Presse . Beijing 22 December, 2024, 22:18
China said Sunday it ‘firmly opposed’ US president Joe Biden’s approval of $571.3 million in defence assistance for Taiwan.
The White House said Friday that Biden had authorised the drawdown ‘of up to $571.3 million in defence articles and services of the Department of Defence, and military education and training, to provide assistance to Taiwan’.
The White House statement did not provide details of the military assistance package, which comes less than three months after one worth $567 million was authorised.
‘This move gravely infringes on China’s sovereignty and security interests,’ Beijing’s foreign ministry said in a statement, adding it ‘firmly opposes this action’.
China ‘has lodged stern representations with the US at the earliest opportunity’, it said.
The country’s Taiwan Affairs Office said such actions by the US ‘contradict its leaders’ serious commitments’ to not supporting ‘Taiwan independence’.
‘We demand that the US immediately cease arming Taiwan and handle the Taiwan issue with the utmost caution,’ said spokeswoman Zhu Fenglian, according to state broadcaster CCTV.
The United States does not officially recognise Taiwan diplomatically, but it is the self-ruled island’s strategic ally and largest supplier of weapons.
China, which has ramped up political and military pressure on Taiwan in recent years, has repeatedly called for Washington to cease sending arms and assistance to the island, which it claims as part of its territory.
Taiwan received 38 advanced Abrams battle tanks from the United States this week — reportedly its first new tanks in 30 years.

China sanctions 7 companies over US military assistance to Taiwan

The Chinese government placed sanctions on seven companies on Friday in response to recent U.S. announcements of military sales and aid to Taiwan, the self-governing island that China claims as part of its territory.
The sanctions also come in response to the recent approval of the U.S. government’s annual defense spending bill, which a Chinese Foreign Ministry statement said “includes multiple negative sections on China.”
China objects to American military assistance for Taiwan and often imposes sanctions on related companies after a sale or aid package is announced. The sanctions generally have a limited impact, because American defense companies don’t sell arms or other military goods to China. The U.S. is the main supplier of weapons to Taiwan for its defense.
The seven companies being sanctioned are Insitu Inc., Hudson Technologies Co., Saronic Technologies, Inc., Raytheon Canada, Raytheon Australia, Aerkomm Inc. and Oceaneering International Inc., the Foreign Ministry statement said. It said that “relevant senior executives” of the companies are also sanctioned, without naming any.
Any assets they have in China will be frozen, and organizations and individuals in China are prohibited from engaging in any activity with them, it said.
U.S. President Joe Biden last week authorized up to $571 million in Defense Department material and services and military education and training for Taiwan. Separately, the Defense Department announced that $295 million in military sales had been approved.
The U.S. defense bill boosts military spending to $895 billion and directs resources toward a more confrontational approach to China. It establishes a fund that could be used to send military resources to Taiwan in much the same way that the U.S. has backed Ukraine. It also expands a ban on U.S. military purchases of Chinese products ranging from drone technology to garlic for military commissaries.
Zhang Xiaogang, a Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson, said earlier this week that the U.S. is hyping up the “so-called” threat from China to justify increased military spending.
“U.S. military spending has topped the world and keeps increasing every year,” he said at a press conference. “This fully exposes the belligerent nature of the U.S. and its obsession with hegemony and expansion.”
The Foreign Ministry statement said the U.S. moves violate agreements between the two countries on Taiwan, interfere in China’s domestic affairs and undermine the nation’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Taiwan’s government said earlier this month that China had sent dozens of ships into nearby seas to practice a blockade of the island, a move that Taiwan said undermined peace and stability and disrupted international shipping and trade. China has not confirmed or commented on the reported military activity.
