The shift comes as Beijing is expanding its military and technological prowess — and as China’s reputation in the United States has plummeted dramatically amid concerns that it will use underhand tactics to achieve leader Xi Jinping’s vision of a world where the U.S. and China are equal.
lmao, wtf. that SNEAKY master of DECEPTION, using TRICKERY and CHICANERY to achieve... peer status as sovereign states.
You can pretty reliably tell which nations they want you to hate by seeing who they name when they describe goals and actions. The designated bad guys are always driven by some leader, and the good guys are the name of the nation and/or its people.
Xi Jinping’s vision of a world where the U.S. and China are equal.
All of China probably shares that vision. Why wouldn't they? Even those seeking China supremacy want that as a stepping stone. But it's "Xi's vision." Because it's easy to make people hate a man and difficult to make them hate a people.
Meanwhile, it's the "people" of Taiwan that "yearn for freedom." How often did you hear of Tsai Ing-Wen's aspirations? I didn't even know they had a change of president a week ago until I googled it just now. Strange for a nation that's so often in the news here.
Underhanded tactics like checks notes investing in manufacturing to make an economy based on making things instead of one based on financial trickery and gambling.

How dare those removed see themselves as equal to us!
