Attack on China from the East and the West

Through points of vulnerability, which are ironically points the world claims China is lacking and needs more

Hong Kong, through it's freedom & lack of capital / funding controls

Xinjiang, through it's embraced diversity

Unlike the mainland, Hong Kong doesn't have the same kind of capital controls. This is a glaring vulnerability for China. Have they exploited this? Yes of course they have. This isn't speculation. Their funding is even shown on the annual returns of local Hong Kong organizations.

In Xinjiang, interference isn't via legal channels (it's covert), potentially relying on America's rich experience engaging with/creating terrorist groups. Create & brainwash terrorists, deploy them in a country to kill, then condemn their country for so effectively containing it

If that sounds like a far fetched conspiracy theory, there are actual CIA declassified documents showing that creating divides through a country's cultural diversity is exactly the kind of thing they do. Just take one of many examples, Guyana . https://twitter.com/DanielDumbrill/status/1172324090465513473?s=19

For context on "embraced cultural diversity in Xinjiang", consider they're accused of trying to erase Uyghur culture, while 25% of their school curriculum is in their minority language, and even Han Chinese are required to learn Uyghur content. Odd way to wipe out a culture

There are re-education study "camps" designed to de-radicalize their previous extremist training. Quite a bit more humane then how Americans deal with terrorists.

FYI, Indonesia has re-education camps also. But look at how much more open minded, pleasant and less critical/negative the coverage is. No gloomy music, and it's even been rebranded as de-brainwashing. Well that sounds so much better doesn't it. https://twitter.com/vicenews/status/1135380585348837383?s=19

Before you engage your enemy, you must first demonize them, how else are you going to live with your conscience afterwards. This all reminds me a letter penned by Chinese Netizens a few years ago:

When we were the sick man of Asia, we were called the yellow peril.

When we are billed to be the next superpower, we are called the threat.

When we closed our doors, you smuggled drugs to open markets.

When we embrace free trade, you blame us for taking away your jobs.

When we were falling apart, you marched in your troops and wanted your fair share.

When we tried to put the broken pieces back together again, free Tibet you screamed, It was an invasion!

When we tried communism, you hated us for being communist.

When we embrace capitalism, you hate us for being capitalist.

When we have a billion people, you said we were destroying the planet.

When we tried limiting our numbers, you said we abused human rights.

When we were poor, you thought we were dogs.

When we loan you cash, you blame us for your national debts.

When we build our industries, you call us polluters.

When we sell you goods, you blame us for global warming.

When we buy oil, you call it exploitation and genocide.

When you go to war for oil, you call it liberation.

When we were lost in chaos and rampage, you demanded rules of law.

When we uphold law and order against violence, you call it violating human rights.

When we were silent, you said you wanted us to have free speech.

When we are silent no more, you say we are brainwashed-xenophobes.

“Why do you hate us so much” we asked.

“No,” you answered, “we don't hate you.”

We don't hate you either, but, do you understand us?

“Of course we do, ”you said, “We have AFP, CNN and BBC's ……”

What do you really want from us?

Think hard first, then answer, because you only get so many chances.

Enough is enough, enough hypocrisy for this one world.

We want one world, one dream, and peace on earth.

This big blue earth is big enough for all of us.

In case anyone was interested in the Chinese:
