Be afraid very afraid. USA is never "happy" without a boogieman. Sheeple look elsewhere while others, here at home, rob them blind.
When you have an unparalleled military industrial complex and a political elite that feeds off of it - that is correct. Having said all that - China isn't helping dissuade anyone's fears or apprehensions. Far from it.
If you could learn to read I make no claim to nationality. I am very obviously talking about ethnicity. Try to get your IQ above 70 please.
Possibly JSOP isn’t feeling SELF hate, but something more akin to Daoist’s perspective on Confucians.
Chinese supersoldiers are already here. This guy carried two packs of drinks in his backpack like it was nothing. Chinese exoskeleton already being used by the PLA: Doesn't matter what kind of war Xi is waging. It will always be asymmetric with his opponent on the losing side...

To me China has already won. At this point, if I read a paper on arvix I prefer it be from a Chinese university. It is just going to be better. More interesting, less chance of BS. Just hungrier. Look up the QUESS satellite. While we waste resources on cryptocurrency, china has a quantum satellite in orbit right now for quantum encryption. The average American doesn't even know who Xi is and thinks China is still just building shitty coffee tables for Walmart and that is it.
There's something to be said about prioritizing math and science in a push for industrialization dominance.
China’s flirt with ‘Social Justice Workers’, AKA Cultural Revolution’, taught them how unproductive that process really is. That is clearly not lost on them. They are not going to let that happen again. Their leadership choice to prioritize valid/rigorous education & production over ideological waste lead to a completely predictable conclusion. At some late date the US will discover the Wokester’s endgame to be as equally destructive as it was avoidable. Both ‘cultural’ groups are cut from the same cloth ... and sadly, despite a treasure trove of historic being available, the low info folks in US have learned nothing. JFK’s Moonshot challenge propelled the US like never before. This is not only missing today, but we are in reverse. That must change. I would not characterize China as having “won” more than the first round (though they have cleverly manipulated corrupt US officials willing to sell out their sovereignty and countrymen to a malignant degree). Round two is coming and there could be more after that. I could be wrong, but I don’t believe that American’s will accept a country where the State can ‘disappear’ a citizen like Jack Ma, possibly forever, and redistribute his wealth to cronies. Seemingly this type action would even give a wake up call to our worldly billionaires whose lives would be viewed as poorly and as expendable as Jack Ma’s ... if China actually would ‘win’ in terms of real control.
