What Hegseth has done is the exact same tactic Narcissists use when they don't like someone, they try to get everyone around them to hate the same person, too.. "We've had a falling out with China yet again, so now ALL other countries must hate them too because we say so! and if you don't we'll raise tariffs on you too!"

China slams Hegseth for calling the country a threat
China has denounced U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for calling the Asian country a threat, accusing him of touting a Cold War mentality. China's foreign ministry said in a statement on Sunday that Hegseth vilified Beijing with defamatory allegations at the Shangri-La Dialogue, a global security conference, the previous day. The statement also accused the United States of inciting conflict and confrontation in the region. Tensions between Washington and Beijing have already escalated over the past week after the U.S. said it would start revoking visas for Chinese students studying in America, amid ongoing trade disputes.
