Communist China's never been a friend of the West. They simply exploited the opportunities and weaknesses of western nations to build themselves up. Their rise was never organic, it's been parasitical. What innovation/invention/idea creation, investment, jobs, etc... that weren't handed to them outright on a silver platter they stole.
Now they engage in political tactics which are part of a larger strategy to supplant us in what historically is termed "civilization replacement."
However, the Western civilization we grew up in is in rapid decline. By the time the Chinese achieve military dominance, it will look much more like the third world than it presently does. Which is good for China, of course, as they have mucho experience profiting from unbalanced agreements with the third world.
Not sure how much I'm supposed to care though as whether by accident, crime victim, disease, or just old age; I won't be here by then.
