Philippines, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Vietnam, Columbia, Thailand, and many others
do their best to make foreign companies feel wanted and appreciated.
Unlike China, who puts their executives in jail, threaten companies, and steal from them.
What sane business owner would want to do business in China??
(Note: Elon Musk does not qualify, since I did say "sane")

@offiz Good question. We don't really care about what happens in places like Brazil, or India, or Egypt, or many other countries -- so, it is a good question - "What is it about China that makes America react like it has??"
I think there are several reasons.
1. China is threatening war to take Taiwan.
2. China claims sovereignty (not competing EEZ rights) over the South China Sea.
3. China has threatened war against many countries unless they do precisely what China tells them to do -- Sweden, Canada, US, Japan, Australia, India, Vietnam, UK, and Philippines.
4. China has publicly and repeatedly said that the US is their enemy. It is hard to be apathetic when a country as big and powerful as China declares you its enemy.
5. There is the human rights issues -
---- persecution and genocide of the Uighyrs.
---- Persecution and organ harvesting from Falun Gong members.
---- Illegal arrests and detainment of citizens of other countries to use as bargaining chips.
----- the persecution and inhumanity of the CCP towards Chinese citizens. (not that we really care, though).
Is that enough to explain it?

One more thing about China is that since it has threatened, insulted, and alienated almost every nation,
I don't think anyone will offer China any help.
After all, if the Germans and French did not offer the Greece or Italy much help,
what can China expect from the world?
In contrast, remember when a tsunami hit India??
Do you remember all the help that poured out from nations to India?
People like India, so help was quickly and freely given.
If the same thing happened in China,
would you expect a similar outpouring of aid and sympathy for China??
I don't.
Oddly, to save face, I think the CCP would rather Chinese people die,
than to accept foreign help.
To the world, that is sick, but to the CCP, that is normal.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine is having an unexpected, but welcome, effect.
The unity of the west and the power of its sanctions, I believe, have impressed and scared the CCP.
They see what can happen if they attack Taiwan.
The west can freeze, and even take, all their money.
The money corrupt officials have put in western banks and assets could be lost.
Secondly, China uses Russian equipment and doctrine.
The poor performance in Ukraine should make them have a rethink.
Would an invasion of Taiwan fare better than the invasion of Ukraine???
Probably not.
BUT, a failed sea invasion results in many more deaths, as troop ships are sunk.
I think these are good developments, reducing China's hunger for invading Taiwan.
