I'm certain they think China poses a real threat to spreading communism, wouldnt make sense from their perspective to allow a country led by a communist party to threaten US global hegemony to a larger and larger degree. I honestly think they're surprised China handled covid so well and they were impacted economically so little. It put them in a much better place than the US and I'm certain this will be weaponized against them.
Not only did they handle Covid so we'll, but I'm comparison to the US, China is seen as the real global leader to much of the world. Basically anywhere that isn't tethered to the US by a short leash is going to see China as the obvious adult in the room. Even our "allies" see that the US is a clearly decaying empire but are scared to firmly take China's side.
Honestly, I don't think the new anti-Chinese sentiment has much to do with communism. What I think is really making the western elites hysterical is that it's becoming increasingly apparent that their precious hyperindividualist free market capitalism might be inferior to state capitalism and a strong government.
The more the US talks up the threat of China, the more I think they might not be just "state capitalist" after all

Hyper individual free market is a meme to get poor people to work harder. Rich people don't believe in that fairy tale.
It has nothing to do with that really. Just a crumbling empire looking to a place to shovel the blame.
