They were doing it for 8 years... beside Russia, everyone was finding that normal and didn't do a thing. So they don't care to talk about it openly.

Genocide can only be committed by the ‘other side’ silly. Whatever the ‘other side’ does can be classed as genocide. Rescue kids from a war zone? Genocide. Arrest terrorists? Genocide.
OTOH, actual genocide done by people ‘on our side’ can only fall into either the ‘didn’t happen’ or ‘doesn’t count’ sub category of genocide, which technically means no genocide happened.
President Xi is as pro American as they can get. Ofc he's not a bootlicker like Von der Leyen or an imbecile like Baerbok, but Xi's brand of pro Americanism means advocating for joint leadership, that is, inherent acknowledgement of American "right to lead". Xi once spent major time in America and also allowed his daughter to do it, he is a dove on America, advocating for the "G2" politics, which are akin to marriage with the enemy.
But he is also a very competent leader, so one can absolutely not characterise him solely due to being soft against US. He sees through the most toxic elements inside current US regime and deeply understands how to deal with them, he also knows that domestically, he cannot be too friendly on America. Ultimately to Xi, his role in advancing domestic politics and China's UN duties supercedes his friendliness to America, so while he might soften the blows against Washington, he will still dish out the bare minimum of necessary moves to safeguard the international situation.
Xi and the few others that have the exact same views as him are likely one of the last friends of America that exist in China. Those were the final wave of politicians where the people can accept that they have foreign connections.
Once they're gone, policy will change from defending status quo to threat elimination.

More companies = more competition, this is business economics 101. Any monopoly is bad for competition.
South Korea's chaebols and Japan's keiretsu are doing wonders for their countries' economies?
And they know this how?
Another cope article by the Chinese lib Minxin Pei, just read for laughs. He obviously has zero knowledge in both semiconductors and football since he got the typical Chinese lib degrees - English & Political Science - so it is mostly just word salad for the consumption of Western audience. I guess that's the typical career pathway for low quality degree graduates of Chinese descent in the West - yellow face propaganda mouthpieces so that their masters don't get called 'racist'. Surprisingly, the few comments under the article are pretty based.
Psycho Senator Marco Rubio laments the fact that countries are dropping the dollar and doing trade in their own currencies, because then the US wouldn't be able to sanction them. These psychos genuinely believe it's their god given right to impoverish anyone not bending to their will.
"Brazil and China cut a trade deal going right around the dollar…in 5 years we won’t have the ability to sanction them" - Senator Marco Rubio.
Citing Brazil’s deal with China to settle trade in yuan and reals, the US is worried about a de-dollarised world because it’s ability to impose country-breaking punishing sanctions on nations which don’t follow US orders is diminished.
