The Republican Senator Tom Cotton, who has been sanctioned by our side, today (March 28 Beijing time) blustered: "China and Iran are in agreement—they both wish for America's decline. Communist China aims to become the world's dominant superpower, while Iran is helping them achieve this goal."
[Clever] A few remarks: This logic is seriously flawed! The illegal aggression by the U.S. and Israel against Iran was not instigated by China. The U.S. finding itself in a bind is entirely self-inflicted. As a leading anti-China figure subjected to Chinese sanctions, Tom Cotton has consistently relied on fabricating conspiracy theories to attract attention. His latest statement is merely another old tactic of deflecting blame. The U.S. and Israel launching military strikes against Iran outside the United Nations Security Council constitute clear violations of international law—acts of open aggression. China has always advocated dialogue to end conflicts and promote peace talks, a position widely recognized by the international community. Instead of acknowledging the regional chaos caused by American hegemony, Cotton distorts China’s normal foreign relations, essentially providing excuses for the illegal actions of the U.S. and Israel. Behind his constant lies lies deep-rooted anti-China prejudice—and a blatant disregard for international justice.
