Constantly under attack? Remember that even back when the KMT was in power, Chiang Kai-Shek was (rightfully) suspicious that the CIA was plotting a coup to overthrow him.
Moreover, when the CCP was rising with Mao Zedong, the CIA used something like $100 million USD at the time to try to create a third group in China that could combat the other two (the KMT and CCP) with the explicit goal of undermining Mao’s power.
China’s existing actions don’t even come close to tit-for-tat and America’s continued subversive actions show that nothing has changed whatsoever. The US still thinks it can fuck around in the domestic affairs of other countries and leave unscathed without retribution.
Good. We need more of it since the CCP has made a habit of targeting US infrastructure and civilian targets.
Ah yes, because escalation has worked so well in the past.
And what do you propose a sovereign nation who’s citizens, business, and assets are constantly under attack from state sponsored actors do? Bend over?
This isn’t escalation. It’s minimal tit-for-tat.

Again, literally nothing China or Russia could do short of literally executing the President come even close to what the US attempted to orchestrate.
Tit for tat assumes a fair response. China and Russia are being more than fair.

Organizing a coup with the goal of overthrowing the government is an entirely separate thing to… Overthrowing the government by killing the president?
Such as?
No evidence, as always
