When people make comments like this, I recommend a few books to them.

Kishore Mahbubani's Has China Won?

Martin Jacques' When China Rules the World

Henry Kissinger's On China

Yu Hua's Ten Words on China

Ray Dalio's Changing World Order

Zak Dychtwald's Young China

I also recommend they spend time working with Chinese nationals.

It's worth noting that the US House just approved a $1.6 billion dollar bill which is focused on increasing anti-Chinese reporting globally, a continuation and increase of funding that's been in place for years.

The degree of Sinophobic nonsense by people ignorant of the reality of China and in the world is remarkable. The degree of received nonsense is remarkable too.

But feel free to have an opinion based on received hatred that's very well funded. You be you.
