Am I dumb for reading the headline and thinking that their point is that the US didn't get embroiled in similar conflicts elsewhere was because the PRC has a stronger presence pretty much anywhere else in the world except the middle east, where they have been less hands-on.

Yeah I've been reading it as "China has to come and tell us to stop!!" rather than "China isn't carrying their own weight defending isntreal"
(if I don't steal it someone else will type beat)
Or more like "China hasn't been seen around the region, so we can do whatever"
