Look at the arrogance as usual coming from the West. Hindsight is 20/20. Would've... could've... should've... They think the US could've prevented China from rising. And at what cost? Do they think they could've talked China out of being a competitor? Or are they going to use the military? This is why I look down at those that argue China should pursue the Western definition of "soft power". In their attempts to claim China doesn't have any, they'll argue that China can only get others to go along with them through coercion or force which means China has no soft power. How do you think the US and the West can stop China rising without using money and power? Do you think they can get China to accept the West being their master through kind words? That would be soft power if they could accomplish that. Reality is a whole different animal. The West is so insecure because the only way they can be safe in their minds is if everything was 100% under their control and while at the same time they expect the world to accept them as their master. That is the height of arrogance to bother thinking they could've changed the past as if they could do it all over again and it would be different this time around.

China’s burgeoning undersea sensor net aims to turn the ocean transparent
The PLA is building a self-healing “kill web” to surpass today’s brittle kill chains.
The People's Liberation Army is building an “invisible net” across the western Pacific, a five-layer, seabed-to-space sensor architecture known as the Transparent Ocean strategy that challenges the ability of U.S. and allied submarines (our “black sharks”) to maneuver and hide.

The threat was on display in August during the PLA Navy and Russia's Joint Sea-2025 exercises near Vladivostok. In joint anti-submarine warfare drills, Chinese and Russian forces linked their communications and shared hydro-meteorological and air-sea tracks in real time. The goal, according to Chinese state media, was to leave deep-diving submarines with nowhere to hide.
(China's ability to detect western ships near China coast is seen a threat?)

This is news only, not dumb anti-China Twitter opinions threads from randos.
I must point out that Melissa Chen is not a random person. She is of major influence within propaganda circles.

In 2021, Chen criticised the removal of The Adventures of Ook and Gluk: Kung-Fu Cavemen from the Future by Dav Pilkey from publication by HarperCollins in response to a 289-signature petition accusing the book of stereotyping harmful to Asians in depicting kung fu master Master Wong as wearing "a traditional-style Tang coat" and using "stereotypical Chinese proverbs" in training his black and non-Asian students to eventually surpass him in skill, with Chen instead praising Wong as "a prime example of a positive portrayal of an Asian character in literature, [coming] across as endearing and full of wisdom", refuting the petition creator's derision of the novel's Chinese proverbs as stereotypical and calling out their own negative views of Chinese people ignored by Pilkey, calling for the book to be unbanned.
She was one of the first advisors, along with Bari Weiss, for FAIR, an organization that seeks to fight critical race theory. The New Yorker published an article about her involvement in the group, which has been accused of mismanagement.
Chen called for the flogging of Just Stop Oil activists in 2022.
