We take pride in having an "independent" foreign affairs policy.

No, it's doctrinaire Communism. Most businesses are controlled by the CCP and the workers belong to the CCP's union.
Even if it wasn't Communist it's still a Collectivist state
But, it's slowly been converting to Capitalist and the people there have seen a huge boom in GDP per Capita, Life Expectancy, and percent of people not starving to death under collectivist farming policies

China is ripping us off, stealing our technology and research and using it to build a massive navy, we're supposed to just accept that? What you're saying is akin to China invading Hawaii and saying we can't fight back because war threatens global stability.

There is literally no reason for China to invade Hawaii. China would gain nothing. China's military thus is largely focused on the South China Sea and Taiwan, which have been claimed by the PRC since the 1940s.
Also, both China and the United States have nuclear weapons, and no one wins nuclear wars.

It's an analogy.

China has a terribly small nuclear arsenal. We just need to dump a few trillion more into missile defense and we could easily win a nuclear war with them.

Man, that's too liberal. Even for me. Like... wow. This is so liberal I think Antifa would distance themselves from it. WRA has found the end of leftism. Maybe cutting taxes on the 1% may not be the best step to that, though.

Firstly, unconfirmed reports suggest that China has thousands of nukes secretly stored underground (which isn't in my mind a risk worth taking). Secondly, the US federal budget is simply too small to easily dump "a few trillion more dollars" into missile defence without spreading it out over several decades. Thirdly, have you considered the effects of the subsequent nuclear winter?

So you think it is okay for them to take over the world and oppress everybody because you do not consider them "real" communists?

Actual estimates of their arsenal sit at about 250 weapons, with high end numbers nearing 400. Assuming we first strike with a large number of SLBM's from right off the coast it'll be gg.
