The PRC plays the game of "Oh American you Imperiarist scum! We hate you!" and attempts to play some kind of retarded Cold War game with us (Though sadly they won't be anywhere near US level anytime soon, even the Soviets had issues) but at the same time suckles on the West for their economy, added with shifty, morally questionable (Though who hasn't done some silly shit) and downright stupid business practices, have created the "Chinese Bubble", which within the next 10-20 years is due to come crashing down.

Already we've seen the stagnation of the Chinese economy, however in an attempt to boost this, the Chinese super-charged their already expanding military industrial complex, purchasing and refitting a former Russian carrier and using its experience to create their own, attempting to produce a 5th generation fighter, and a number of other military expeditions really just are fucking over China in the long run.

China is that guy who spits on you, but just happens to live in your house, eats your food, and so on.
