The concept of “stepping like a cat” originates from Expositions of Insights into the Practice of the Thirteen Postures, by Wu Yuxiang (1812–1880), a text considered one of the Tai Chi classics. This idea is based on observing how a cat moves, particularly when stalking prey. If you’ve seen a cat stalking, you know it takes slow, deliberate steps, carefully placing each paw as it draws closer...

Sounds like a headline from The Onion but isn't.
The USA spends vast amount of time and money trying to destabilize and control China and criticizing every step they make. Now there's complaints they are not buying enough lobster from Maine. What can they expect? All I can say is the folks in Maine are a bunch of whiners.

The US Government continues to push the story of mistreatment of the Uygur in Xinjiang Province all the while ignoring the fact that it encouraged and supported the genocide of Native Americans and the pilfering of their lands for hundreds of years. To this day, Native Americans are suppressed and have high poverty rates and poor health conditions. Their native languages and culture are either extinct or on the brink of extinction.
Which brings up the celebration of Thanksgiving. Generally, presented as a day when the Pilgrims and Indians celebrated in harmony together, the real truth is shocking. You can read about it in this article:

This begs to question, why does the US Government continue to push the supposed human rights issues in Xinjiang. It is unquestionably to create unrest and try to destabilize Chinese society.
It is time for the US Government to focus on taking care of its citizens and work on restoring the pride and honor of Native Americans.
The US Government continues to be highly critical of China and its so-called "human-rights" violations while financing the genocide of Palestinians. Yes, the bombs that the Israeli's are using to murder Palestinian men, women, and children are financed and for the most part made in the USA. The Israeli government is required to buy the majority of their armaments from the USA with the money the USA gives them.
One American Senator is willing to speak out. Senator Bernie Sanders is introducing a measure to "disapprove" of the US sale of "precision guided" weapons to Israel. Will this stop it? No, but at least there is one US Senator that shows signs of having a conscience.

In the meantime, while the US Government and the world in general is reluctant to confront Israel on the issue of Palestinian genocide, you can avoid supporting Israel and boycott any products or services that come from Israel.
The US Government is failing miserably in human rights. We are witnessing an unprecedented time of civil unrest, almost weekly mass shootings, high unemployment, homelessness, and over 500,000 dead due to the government lies about the seriousness of COVID-19. We also have a dysfunctional government with representatives acting like spoiled two-year old's.
Instead of tackling our human rights problems the US Government wants to distract us by focusing on Xinjiang and creating a story about poor treatment of its citizens. I for one am skeptical. I was in Xinjiang about two years ago, and yes, the security was tight, but we were able to visit freely and there was no sign of unrest or so-called camps. It was a much safer place to be than almost any city in the US.
On the other hand I do know for a fact that the US Government will falsify information and stir up unrest in other countries all in the name of spreading democracy. Think about our invasion of Iraq and how it was based on lies. How many Muslims died because of false intelligence?
The truth is that people with power (and money) have woken up to the fact that while we've been bogged down killing Muslim men, women, and children and creating instability in the middle East to control their oil, China has been prospering economically by advancing peaceful trade with other countries. China is also advancing in their technology at a faster rate and will surpass the US in the next few years, if not sooner.
The US Government needs a plan to stop spreading lies and work together with China. We need to have healthy competition instead of more "they are the enemy" lies. Working together would create prosperity for both of our countries and add some stability to the world and maybe our leaders could focus on taking care of its own citizens.
