excerpts taken from the Washington Post:
Former State Department's Kiron Skinner describes great power competition with China as “a fight with a really different civilization and a different ideology, and the United States hasn’t had that before.” China “poses a unique challenge … because the regime in Beijing isn’t a child of Western philosophy and history.” The Cold War constituted “a fight within the Western family,” while the coming conflict with China is “the first time that we will have a great power competitor that is not Caucasian.”
Skinner offers a further clue about what she means. China, she notes, is the first great power competitor that the United States has faced that is “not Caucasian.” In the end, the argument is not about ideology or civilization. It is about race. China — unlike Russia — is not predominantly white, and thus must be dealt with differently.

Guys, we are not talking about individual feelings and prejudices, but rather collective psyche as a nation.
the West ( at least the 5 eyes ) simply cannot allow a non Caucasian country to be number 1. Does this carry a racial tone? You judge by yourself. Yellow peril says it all.
As a strategy, China should also play divide and conquer among the Western powers, particularly under the present gloomy global economic situation.

If you dig deeper, Kanina also said, on a different occasion, that they are realising that the majority of Chinese will not be as easily(compared to most other nations) fooled into making enemy of their own government due to the inherently different manner the citizens view their state vs the west. That is in part also due to Chinese values being imbedded for thousands of years. And as such, the only viable way to stop the rise of China is to bring down the entire 1.4b Chinese.

It is fairly obvious the 5 eyes nations, to varying degrees, wants to collectively do a "George Floyd" act on China with US acting as "Derek Chauvin". China must not only continue to breathe, but also flourish to resist this autocratic powers.

I think, I start understand something about why the American win in propaganda war against China. That is because of their social media machines that has spread into the world. And the most important thing is, their global covered search engine, like Google, MSN, Bing, Yahoo, etc. Why? Because Search Engines like Google has news link to their website. When you open Google in your smartphones, you will see news from various web news from your local online news and the American News like Washington Post, Reuter, etc. And less from RT.com and Chinese English News. That's why American can drive the opinion into their way.

China should start to invest heavily on Search Engine that focus on Global consumption. There are some hole in Google today. Like their search Engine will limit the topic that the region doesn't allowed. Like in Muslim Countries "porn" topic, etc. So this new search engines should allow all. Because people like porn, pirates sites, and something that considered illegal by some countries.

They can play like google that censored matter that considered illegal by Chinese government, in China mainland, but they must be free for all in their global target. no censor at all, for now. This search engine must be powerful, and capable. Google payed a lot of people to gather link information in the nets long time ago, and maybe still do it now. China search engine should also do the same. And should be "Private business". Not States Business. Then in their news section should be given more about pro Chinese news paper, and less about American one; although they should still show American news in here and there.

China should also approach local non English online news and create business partnership with them. Like Trump befriend one of Indonesian politician and online news owner, Harry Tanoe. And they should also invest on non English online news websites on other countries. Get local people to own the corporation. And help them expand the business in their country.

This way, China can compete with US in the field of Propaganda war.

Once PRC takes control of Taiwan militarily, managing this territory would require creative solutions. Likely Taiwan will not be directly taxed much like Hong Kong, and PRC would stay out of micromanaging local politics. ROC institutions would exist for the foreseeable future.

I think a tuntian system along with various PRC militia groups adapted to the economy and geography of Taiwan would be beneficial. It can act as an intermediary between PRC and ROC during an adaptation period and a parallel system to ROC. This system would encourage economic integration, also facilitate movement of populations between mainland and Taiwan.

The tuntian system would be a self sustaining economic entity with paramilitary elements. It would establish its own industries, financial institutions, education institutions, medical facilities, security and governance. This is not only for moving pro PRC forces into Taiwan but also an avenue for providing public goods to the Taiwanese population to encourage smoother integration. A parallel system on Taiwan would provide a contrast to the governance of the ROC (immediately abolishing ROC might create greater chaos and underground organizations) and show tangible benefits of integration through economic opportunities among others. It would serve to reduce burden on the central government for managing Taiwan.

The greater the contact area between Mainland society and Taiwanese society the better the integration would be.

"SMIC would be unable to update the software of any of its US machines or have personnel from suppliers helping it to get them working," Richard Windsor, founder of research firm Radio Free Mobile, told the BBC.

"It would also be unable to buy any more equipment or any upgrades for new technologies. If this were to persist for the long term, it would represent an existential threat that could see the company close its doors."

This in turn could compromise China's wider technology and artificial intelligence ambitions.

Hey guys, I know this is not really related to defence, but I want to ask does China have any plan to stop and reduce rural sprawl?

In places like the north china plain, fujian, guangdong, housing development in rural areas have grown by a lot to the point where there might be more rural housing than agricultural land. Rural villages are very close to each other and very dense compared to other countries. This is obviously bad for China in terms of food security since land that could be farmed has been taken up by housing.
