Starting wars with allied nations (China) just because they have a semi-socialist economy seems fairly fascist to me.

I know there’s a lot of different definitions on fascism, but one of them originated from Italy is, that the state and corporations act together. In this case, the US tries to bully Taiwan corporations to do their bidding “or else”.
I know some would say it dosent count because the Taiwan firm can do as it pleases, but it becomes fascism when the Taiwan government now need to force the corporation to do as the US says.
Indirect fascism. But then again there’s also parts of the US that’s not fascism, and then we can keep on going.

You are right that is capital F fascism. However you don’t attribute Fascism to the interactions of countries. Nowadays Fascism doesn’t really exist but fascism does and that is usually an “in-house” thing.
However this is like a core tenet of neoliberalism and I think not wanting to point that out does harm. Neoliberalism is shit and when it be doing evil shit call it out.
I wouldn’t call what happened to Honduras and Banana Republic stuff fascism I’d call it neoliberalism.
