Between trade disputes, Chinese stealing our business secrets, how they responded to coronavirus by concealing the extending, and now with the new Chinese laws regarding Hong Kong, I think we can declare Cold War II has now begun. I view this as an issue more important that coronavirus and long term; this is going to go for decades.
I certainly hope it never becomes a hot war.
I have come to view China (and for the record when I use the word "China", I am refering to the Chinese government and Communist party and not the people) has an existential threat to the United States. As I watch how they treat dissidents, Tibet, Hong Kong, the Uigers, Christians, I have no doubt how they will treat me if they get a chance. I won't be pretty.
I don't know how to fight this kind of war. We start figuring it out and doing it.
