200 years ago, China lost almost every war with then major Western powers, it was forcefully opened up and became a semi-colony, the Chinese lived as second class citizens in parts of their own land. Then the US/West tried again to regime change China with the Korean and Vietnam wars, but ended up being defeated. And today, the US/West could only verbally threaten China. Trump's trade war with China has essentially failed, I believe all current and future tech sanctions will also backfire ending up hurting the US more on the long run, economic decoupling with China is almost impossible. I think the US/West knows full well that aside from a direct war with China, there really isn't much it could do to stop China from surpassing the US/West, in fact China has already surpassed the US/West on so many fields. So the only thing the US could do these days is verbal threats, as a Chinese, I feel quite good to see how rapidly the US empire is losing its confidence and influence.
