Maybe someone still believing in the superiority of the west, which clearly we don’t have a monopoly on anymore, China has caught up, exactly as Japan and Korea have done before China.

I genuinely is curious to see the exact same propaganda rolled out against China that Americans deployed against the other Eastern Rim industrial states. India is, similarly, getting a ton of this treatment.

The big difference between China and India/Japan/Korea is the failure of the Chinese government to placidly ingest western neoliberal economic policy and stagnate their economies for a decade as a result.

Absolutely, China being communist makes them the enemy.
But to be fair, capitalism is also a declared enemy to communist countries.
Both are equally wrong.

Colonialism tends to be the explicit professed enemy. Communism, as a practical economic policy, revolves around securing domestic resources for the benefit of the local public. China's managed this phenomenally.

What Chinese policymakers object to is extraction of Chinese surplus at a loss. And foreign capitalists hate this, because it cuts into their profits.
