There is this singleminded obsession with the US-China rivalry, but the world is so much bigger when you consider the non-superpowers alone. And among the 200 or so nations there aren‘t many that love the two heavy-weights. A majority of us do wish that if a war is inevitable it be the USA that wins it. I believe it is a certainty that all nations have some troubling beef with the CCP, and none is anti-China as such.

The US is desperate! World opinion turning increasingly indifferent & hostile! Even the EU rejected US’s WHO resolution on China!
.
But the BIGGEST THREAT is not China! It is Asia! The fast economic growth is fatal to US interest!
.
Solution: Trap Asia into killing each other like in the M. East! Goading India or Taiwan to start a conflict will give US legitimacy to join the war big time & roil the whole region into turmoil!
.
Result? Asian economic threat gone; US growing rich with arms sales; No more super China or India or the Asian Tigers! Everything back to normal with the US as KING!

Now is the time for China to do a tactical retreat, give up the spratly islands and Taiwan. Concentrate on the Belt Road and good relations with the other nations. However deal a body blow to U.S. AUS/NZ/CANADA, with a cessation of all trade, and be patient and wait as U.S.implodes as will the E.U. Time is on the Chinese side, so it must be used.

Bowing down to external pressure is not always a solution. President Xi is right about the trap. Don’t inspire your country to bow down always if you love your country. Rather standing up will solve the problem, though with some initial pain, which is inevitable. Don't be coward to face things if you Don't serve others purpose.

A hot war between US and China is in nobody's interest. China is not ready now, even for a little hot war in the South China Sea let alone military ambitions for Taiwan. The same old Sunzhi art of war applies, win a war without firing a shot! That's China's game. Can US has the patience?

Larrie Chew, China has repeatedly demonstrated throughout history in a majority of the dynasties that her intentions were largely peaceful and non dominating
That is why at the height of all the dynasties during the golden periods, China ships were trading ships and not organised large offensive military convoys. It is based on mutual interest and a win-win mentality. The instinctive response to conflict is to negotiate and create a harmonious solution where both can coexist happily
The Great Wall of China was built to keep the barbarians out, which allowed them to pursue civilization and establish education as a leadership criteria since BCE
Trump’s and his generals I-can-only-win-if-you-lose mentality is inherited from the war pains of European historical roots centuries upon centuries of fighting till extermination, the sin-penance dynamic, the colonial moralising, dialectic, I-can-do-no-wrong preaching approach is etched into the psyche. The instinctive response to conflict is combative ( that is why the terms used by commentators like WalterP below are physical, like trap, kill, king etc ) .
Look at where this inherited high horse colonial combative thinking has gotten Africa over the centuries
There is a difference in cultural thinking and approach

I love China but worry that it doesn't understand the situation it is in. Only one of the US's 9 naval groups could eliminate the entire Chinese navy. The Chinese army is woefully under funded and under trained. China's power is completely economic and must use that power because it's military could be defeated easily. China needs to win the world with economic and humanitarian power now only. When it comes to military power China must quietly strengthen and be much meeker until it can actually be a threat. Right now China's military is a growling kitten.U.S is always in war, well train, real training.....so china is meow meow only

. Err O'Brian, that’s a simplistic appraisal of what military confrontations might look like. The blue water naval power of China IS very limited, but near its own shores it is highly likely that the relatively untested but allegedly extremely high-tech anti-ship missiles China boasts would be enough to keep the US at bay in the SCS and the Taiwan Strait. The US would have to focus on strangling the Berring Strait and the Malacca

....Commenting system is still bad. ... The US would have to focus on strangling the Bearing and Malacca Straits but it would take quite a while to see tangible results from such a strategy. We are all better off utterly avoiding war but I would not underestimate China’s military potential, untried though it may be.

Those dynasties invaded Vietnam, Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. They were comparatively peaceful, yes. But don’t create a fairytale. And the current regime has very little to do with Imperial China. In the 1970s it tried to destroy the cultural link between it and the past. More than 95% of Beijing’s old temples were destroyed. Excuse us if we don’t think: “gosh, China was a gentle Panda

GoodieTwoShoe,To be asking perfection from China’s history will be as unreasonable as expecting humans to be perfect
We should try to create fairytales on earth despite our humanly limitations
Your interpretations of the cultural revolution as “destruction”, and yet look what intellectual space that passage of history has freed up for China to progress to what is it today
It will be unreasonable to want to have your cake and eat it
History often rhymes even though it may not repeat itself exactly
Gentleness is a learned behaviour
Just as how your spontaneous observation of the cultural revolution was one of destruction

GoodieTwoShoe, I think that China made great efforts to create a positive influence abroad through economic relationships and diplomatic ties. These of course are important factors. But much of this work could be easily damaged by the USA if they don't create an international system of communication. China has to invest in changing the perception of its political image abroad. The US are creating an antichinese sentiment in the whole world. It's very important now for China to be able to stop this media-aggression. For example China has made a great job to stop completely the epidemic in only two months, and this job could be an example for the rest of the world. This could be very good for the image of efficiency of China. Nonetheless now the US are succeeding in reversing the situation putting China in the dock, making people forgetting that Trump is responsible of a disastrous management of the epidemic in his own country. This is possible because the US have a powerful world wide system of communication, that China haven't.

Sadly, the China/US conflict (it seems to be going from cold to hot, due to a group of decisions from the Trump administration) is viewed militarily or through a business lens. Instead, it ought to be viewed as a currency contest. The USD is strong, while the YNY is weak (even pegged to the USD). The US government and it's people can act imperialistically since their currency is strong. The US is instigating Taiwanese independence, Hong Kong revolt, and virtually every other form of cold war strategy to weaken China. China must be reactive and yin due to their inferior position. Yes, they can continue with the yin strategy, growing stronger by the year, but sooner-or-later Washington will blow through some Beijing red line and hostilities will have commence. That is certainly their strategy: make the Dragon fight before it gets too strong. Unfortunately for the US, the currency is being treated like toilet paper, being greatly expanded due to tremendously increased debt. Without a strong USD, the US simply doesn't have the ability to continue with such a yang strategy of antagonism towards China.

It looks like the Chinese Peoples Congress will have to decide how China carries on in the world stage being in the spotlight of high exposure from the world media, from its Covid 19 actions in Wuhan, to the Huawei Mengzhou issues in Canada, to the seizing and militarization of the Philippine shoals in the South Asian Sea. Having achieved being the reliable chief source of cheaply manufactured goods for the world, China has decided to do a "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" act by itself by making the South Asian Sea its own lake, stepping on the toes of its US trading partner, and on the heads of small Asian states like Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia while keeping a tight grip on Tibet, Macau, and Hong Kong, and eyeing covetously Taiwan.
Listening to some coffee drinkers in the shop, "China need not to go to war with USA, the ChiComParty should just call-in the USA debts and seize the USN carriers and battleships for NON-PAYMENT of outstanding trillions of dollars that US owes to China. But Pres. Trump is a stable genius, so Pres. Xi has to be careful or he could be kicked by a mule, in the face."

u can neither love or fear what you can’t define
I wonder if fear of sinicization is just English speaking people’s codeword for fear of Chinese pushback against veiled anti-Chinese racism
Trump has been openly promoting veiled anti-Chinese racism
To expect the Chinese to take such hateful/divisive propaganda quietly is preposterous
The fact that respected English media endorse trump’s statements without calling out this dangerous hateful behaviour is extremely worrying
