I do not hate him. He is par of the course for what China needed.
He recognized that rights and freedoms come with economics and while I have no doubt he would like to see restrictions on freedoms he knows that it is inevitable that freedoms will accompany economic success. Trump was a boon for him - he killed the TTP and China exploded with it's claws into the global economy with trade deficits growing in their favor - and the global economy will never now be able to unshackle from them. To bring back the TTP at this stage would certainly split the world in 2 parts and could lead to conflict, so it is unlikely to be seriously revisited. Possible, but quite dangerous.
China at least understands that while wars can be profitable they are far less profitable than building factories that cater to a variety of economic needs.
The USA was not even in the top 10 military powers when WW2 started (I think it was ranked 17)- it was only through investment (mostly blackmailing other countries like the UK and Russia) that it could afford to build factories and become an economic might.
China recognizes that a world war may happen, but it is likely to be fought in economics rather than the battlefield - none of the top 10 militaries on Earth have ever faced off since ww2 and likely never will.
The new engine of the global economy most certainly is China and finances must also shift there - and will do so once they accept they are capping their future by not allowing other freedoms.
I can not envision how China does not become the most powerful country on Earth; and I see the United States as more a glorified Sweden on it's coasts and it's interior slip away to desolate poverty (as it happening and has been happening for some time).
The United States primary role will be a final deterrent to China obtaining new lands, thus the USA is burdened with a military expense for decades to come. In the meantime, China will enjoy the fact that the USA must make an expense it has to much like we spend money on fire sprinklers for fires that will likely never happen but are costly to operate - whereas the guy down the road with his warehouse and lack of overhead enjoys greater margins through lack of expense.
If China does not give the freedoms it needs to, then most certainly it will collapse, and they know this. They will either give these freedoms at the last minute or too late. The goal of the USA is to see them give the freedoms too late and collapse, and they can accomplish this by selling freedoms and the benefits of liberty as a right and needed immediately thus forcing money and people out of China.
We must play chess with them and not checkers. Building factories here in the USA is playing checkers and linear with severe up front costs that can NEVER be made back in a global economy, so the USA must force their factories to shutter by inflating a new slave pool - India, Pakistan and Africa into existence.
The only problem with this is China is already sinking their claws into all 3 of those areas and is well ahead of the USA. That must change.
