There was the very early religious attempt to convert Chinese people to Christianity, like what was done to the Native American Indians, that failed because of the thousands of years of Chinese heritage that did not fail the Chinese like the Native American Indians. Watch the video about Lee Kuan Yew's take on Christianity. Later there was the British trying to poison the Chinese population using opium, grown in India, that made the Chinese fought back, losing the battle eventually and having to secede Hong Kong to the British and Macao to the Portuguese. The eight nations, that includes Japan, had tried to divide China up into enclaves for them to control, which also failed eventually. China is not going to forget Japan's role in all its sufferings and humiliation, and Japan knows that is a blood debt going to be repaid. Hence Japan is still holding on to the USA apron strings hoping for protection.
In recent times, there was the ideology war with the demonization of communism that ultimately died off. Then the trade war was ignited, hoping to collapse China once again, followed by a technology war and a tariff war today. Will China collapse, or will China survive and grow stronger? Many believe that Trump is 'Making China Greater' instead of the USA. What do you people see?

The Anglo-Saxon clique has used everything in their toolbox and every strategy in their playbook to do China in but failed.
China has survived more than five thousand years of internal strife, famine, dynasty changes, civil wars, earthquakes, floods and ideological struggles and is still standing. How could Gordon Chang's musing in his little book hope to collapse China is a mystery. He is still trying to sell his snake oil today, after more than twenty years of trying.
Today, the USA is using trade war, technology war and tariff war in another strategy hoping to collapse China. Little did the USA realized this is making China even stronger unwittingly. China's total export to the USA is a mere 3% of its GDP and taking this out is like a mosquito bite on an elephant. How is that supposed to collapse the elephant? China's total export to the whole world is more than US$3.51 trillion and China can survive even cutting off all exports to the USA. That is not a problem of survival of China without the USA.
Trade war is already shown to be unable to bring China to its knees, since Trump's first term. On the contrary that was the wakeup signal for China to be independent of the USA. The talk of decoupling had been used to instill fear in the Chinese, but when the USA found that it will backfire badly, they tried to wriggle out of the decoupling mantra and tried a new 'de-risking' name to musk its miscalculation. Now, decoupling is a taboo word, with USA leaders saying that decoupling is not on the cards. China must not take the words of USA leaders at face value. They will always lie, cheat and steal. It is in their DNA. Just watch on Youtube the behavior of the White House spokesperson dishing out unbelievable, fictitious and out of this world answers to difficult questions.
Techology war is also not moving ideally for the USA going forward, with China already neck and neck in AI and now able to produce 3 nanometer chips, which makes even Jensen Huang nervous. The USA is trying to force countries not to use such chips or face sanctions, using the same arm-twisting tactic as always to win an argument, when it fails to overcome a competitor.
Now, the tariff war is already unravelling, with few countries taking up the arse kissing offer. Who wants to bear the stigma of being subjected to a degrading act and be humiliated for life. Only the sycophants did that to please its master.
Suppressing China is in the playbook all along, whichever party rules the USA.
And in the process is making China stronger, more resilient, more aware of where its shortcomings are and putting its resources to overcome them.
Friends do not point out mistakes to avoid misunderstanding, enemies have no qualms about exposing mistakes of the other side. That is where learning comes from.
Well, it is going to end soon, thanks to Trump dismantling the USA.
