How China argues across the disputes we follow
14 positions
US imperial/hegemonic coercion of smaller sovereign states
Western/US coercive interventions deserve legal and humanitarian scrutiny
Sanctions/pressure are conditional; the Global South asserts buyer autonomy
A multipolar order is the legitimate alternative to US hegemony
Taiwan, the SCS and the Senkakus are Chinese territory; foreign interference provokes
China's trade/tech measures are lawful and normal; the US is the aggressor
Intra-Western disputes expose Western hypocrisy, disunity and decline
Japan is reviving militarism behind a pacifist facade
US democracy and institutions are decaying (adversarial state-media reading)
North Korea's deterrent and its Russia/China partnerships are legitimate
Arctic resource development and shipping are normal opportunity
The Thailand-Cambodia clash as an occasion for great-power mediation
US alliances on the peninsula are a containment instrument
This country's outlets carry a large share of these positions' headlines, on one side of the dispute, without the country being a party to it.
