I would disagree with your 'crux' of the argument, as the majority of the article is discussing human rights violations, capitulation of some of America's largest institutions to CCP demands, and recent protests in Hong Kong.

I would also disagree with calling a fairly well cited call to action as 'half baked repetitions of what we hear every day'.

Could you go deeper into how we, the Americans, 'goaded China on' to commit human rights atrocities.
