I watched the entire video with my mouth agape, utterly astonished. If the content presented here truly reflects the basic and widespread understanding of the US strategic intelligence observation towards China, then the US has made a critically fatal misjudgment in its strategic assessment of China. Conversely, China has accomplished the most successful external strategic deception in the past 150 years. This deception is not akin to concealing material possessions or weapons, but akin to "successfully convincing you that I'm just a effeminate gay who likes to lift weights."
