Interesting.
Can China argue that when China is building up it's nuclear weapon
stockpile and building up it's military?

offening? offended?
In the U.S. there were 3 topics of conversation (pre-1960's) that were
considered taboo or prohibited to discuss with other people: sex,
religion, politics. This wasn't very strict, but more of a stern
warning or reminder that such conversation could lead to an argument.
However, discussion of these issues almost always resulted in intense
arguments or conflict.
There was actually a fourth taboo topic: money. The issue of money
being taboo was unstated. You didn't ask people how much money they
earned, what they did to earn their money, or where they got their
money from. Discussing money was once considered to be very rude or
impolite. Today, Millennials (under age 35 years) openly discuss their
incomes, and what they do for a living.
The issue of sex being taboo in the U.S. was actually multiple issues.
The first taboo issue of sex, which is the "sex" in the 3 issues above,
covered the issue of sex between couples: coitus, cunnilingus, fellatio.
The second issue of sex was unstated. This included illegal sexual
perversions, such as homosexuality, bondage, bestiality, necrophilia,
urophilia, coprophilia, etc. Homosexuality has since been legalized in
the U.S. under laws on equality. Urophilia has mostly been
decriminalized. Bondage is still illegal under state laws (not federal
laws) as a form of statutory rape, because the bound person can't
legally consent to sex according to our laws.
The third category of sex that was considered extremely taboo, and was
absolutely never discussed openly: sexual crimes. Sexual crimes
include rape, molestation, pedophilia, pederasty, grooming, etc. Many
of those crimes involve abuse of children or violence, which is why
they weren't discussed.
Today, there is much more awareness and open discussion of sexual
crimes, especially rape. This helps the victims heal, helps
authorities locate other victims, and helps authorities catch predators.

That's a very astute observation.
Currently, there are a bunch of US-China issues where the U.S.
government dislikes China's authoritarian methods, e.g., military in
South China sea, Taiwan unification, mistreatment of Uyghurs, killing
criminals to harvest their organs, disappearance of people critical of
the CCP, military and nuclear buildup, etc.
