I could not help laughing when a particular survey put China on top of the happiness index truthfully, but which was deemed destroying the cultivated monopoly of the White countries and had to be exhumed from mention after that. What does that action tell us about Western mentality?
As some people like to say, not seeing beggars does not mean there are no beggars.

Not only is China not permitted to be perceived as happy, but China is also not permitted to overtake the USA. More than that, China is not permitted to have any influence anywhere in the world. The USA can go on promoting its Monroe Doctrine of total domination and control over the Northern Hemisphere, but the Global South is where the future lies.
I also read the assumption on some social media sites that China's navy is now a joke. Is it because China is not trying to project power and using its aircraft carriers for patrolling just the South China Sea? Now everything that China is doing is propagandized as jokes.
Elon Musk thought that Chinese EVs were a joke years ago when interviewed about China making EVs. That was when Tesla ruled the waves. Now, I do not think he has that same warped mentality. Tesla still depends on Chinese battery makers, and I am sure he does not think that CATL is also a joke.
I am also doubly sure that Steve Jobs did not think that China's cheap workforce was a joke when he decided to invest his iPhone production in China. If that was the case, Steve would have chosen India for even cheaper workers. Now, recently Apple did try to diversify some of its production lines to India and met with problems. The supply chain is not there, the power supply sources unreliable and the workers not at all qualified. With high rejection rates, the savings on labor is negated by the high rejection rates.
Let the USA and the West just presumed that everything Chinese is a joke - the EVs are a joke, the high-speed rails are a joke, the buildings and bridges are tofu models and a joke, the education system is a joke, its supply chain is a joke, its rare earth domination is a joke. I can go on and on. But what is the point. The truth hurts and it will hurt sooner of later.
