Rust is very specifically oxidized iron. If you saw someone boiling water with a heavily oxidized and corroded copper-nickel kettle, and you said "hey mate, get a new kettle, yours is rusty", you'd be incorrect: Rust is an easy, quick-to-say scapegoat for degredation of metallic objects. There's a high chance the person will fix the problem, without ever having known the key core information about the problem and/or science behind it.

...But they still solved the problem.

It is easy to say "China asshoe", for sure, but not a lot of people do. Biden's policy is "kiss China's asshoe". Driving the influence of Chinese authoritarian communist dictatorship from North America would not actually address the problem, because as per Yuri Bezmenov, the problem is Russian in origin from a half-century ago gone wild without even their influence anymore, becoming its own beast, but if you DID drive out the existing fetishization of authoritarian communism in the name of "China asshoe"... The world would be a better place.

And as you said, if not China, others would take its place. If China disappears tomorrow somehow, somewhere else will take its place, including its place as scapegoat. And then we'll say "Zimbabwe is asshoe", or something, for the same problem.

Externalizing an internal problem isn't good, but if it allows you to address the problem when you couldn't when it is internalized, then it's infinitely better than nothing.
