To understand what happened to China during their "Century of Humiliation," means that one then already has the template to understand what the USA/collective West is trying to do today, by studying the strategies of before. One can use the historical "template" and apply it in the same manner.
It is how "divide and rule" worked in the past, and still works today. Create or deepen a political problem, and then wait for the little minions benefiting from the outside POWER of imperialism to come asking for "help." Use their "plight" (artificially enhanced) to meddle, or "leverage" (power dynamics) crises into "eternal problems," sit by and do nothing as problems foment into violence, revolutions, and wars, or carry out other forms of privatized interference (corporatism) under government protection, or without. Whatever works, details really REALLY DON'T MATTER. Once "fomented troubles" rise out of hand, claim to "just want peace." Then use the little minions as favorites (favoratism = a technique within the "divide and rule" strategy of power) to destabilize an entire region, steer them against other weaker entities, and/or employ them as instruments of power (the "tools" of power dynamics), or create overseas regions as a staging area far from the home base (the "unsinkable aircraft carriers"/like colonial-era Hong Kong), etc.
Whatever works for the desired region to be divided/conquered or where CONTROL and domination is required for the economic systems of gain.
There is no way that current day Chinese leaders will not have learnt their very own historical lesson, and allow their very own history to repeat/rhyme, and allow such outside meddling in the own systems to gain traction, AGAIN for a second time.
Every nation or state has its own "Never again!"
Europe has not learnt its lesson yet. They are still little minions of power, centred on their mastah, Washington DC/Pentagon, snd European nations are only quasi independent.
China has learnt the lesson.
Unite, or suffer.
Empires do not become dominant because they hand out candy and bouquets of flowers, as most realists are fully aware of, therefore the wise advice to always keep a wise and just "balance of powers." If not, fail.
Power flows to where the attention goes first, in geopolitics, in the form of political policies.
These can be studied by looking at the events themselves, not what another human being tells you (incl. this essay, which doesn't "tell" you anything, but implores you to start focusing on the well-known events themselves, from which one can then infer the underlying hidden policies, strategies, or objectives).
