  1. We still have to prepare for a Běijīng that lashes out with the PLA as the Mainland runs out of profitable economic opportunities for the CPC to justify its continued uncontested rule.

  2. In Chinese language media, the US has already been made the enemy for even more minor and vague issues. This is really a conflict driven by the CPC, although luckily at least urban Chinese seem to know this despite all the censorship and propaganda. For the rest of the world, it's slowly realizing the overall parasitic trade relationship with Běijīng. Companies surrender critical IP and trade secrets just for cheaper goods and tenuous temporary access to the Chinese consumer market. Meanwhile BRI recipients receive a small army of Chinese workers who wall themselves into colony-like compounds and provide less local work opportunities than promised, while getting troublesome build projects, proliferated corruption, and added debt that's even harder to clear than their existing Western ones.

  3. Also superior industry and moral justification: the Brits stopped trying to buy Southern cotton when the Union declared its goal to end slavery.
