>didn't help the West in Ukraine

They basically baited Ukraine to go to war with their own resources for US' benefit. I think that's beyond not helping.

Then there was also their awkward involvement in Taiwan and HK (largely a domestic matter for China.

As much as I don't think China is right, sometimes the rationale of US involvement is beyond me (at least I'd put it that way).

>West sends no aid to to India

Pretty probable.

Well, borrowing a metric fuckton of money and spending it on the military instead of the citizens fits into that ideology you mentioned as well, but I don't think it's going too well for the people there either, is it?

>Nothing wrong with what the USA does. China and anybody else does the same wherever they can get away with it.

I could agree with you in that there's nothing wrong, seeing that I'm not a citizen of said country, but US citizens requiring support and not getting it seem to disagree with us.

It's quite the scary thought that the "strongest" country on this planet is working on the basis of credibility alone at this point (USD's no longer tied to gold as we all know), with excessive spending in their military forces to back them up in order to basically be a barbarian to others who may threaten their position as #1.

Of course, what do I know?

Is this a case of US trying to play big brother once again?

Pretty consistent across its relationship with other countries, e.g. Ukraine.

I don't necessarily agree with what China does but at least they're not hypocritical about it.

US manipulates its currency but puts others on a monitoring programme for doing so.

US has surveillance through its networks but bans out Huawei for alleged backdoors built in (which weren't proven).

Amongst many others... definitely noticeable after paying some attention.
