That happened because of 2 vast coincidences: 1. China crashing it's own economy during the Ming era and 2. Europe happening to live next to some absolute bozos (South Americans, Sub Saharan Africa et al) who couldn't be bothered to establish basic levels of defense, giving Euros an insane wealth boost for 100% free.
No, they got strong because they were bordered by retards that had cities of gold yet not even basic military metallurgy.
What makes you even think deepseek is China's strongest AI card?
We are sitting at the end of western hegemony, where 'the west' had a 400 year stretch of supremacy where it dictated the rules. Of course there are going to be many injustices in their favor, because they had 400 years to build that system.
The last part you mentioned - you got half of it right. Clean safe cities, affordability, technology, convenience - this exists because China was able to work on this for decades without malicious interference. It had jack all to do with how much China shat on "our enemies" in our newspapers and TV programs, it was identifying the main problems, working out an appropriate solution, executing that solution, revising when things don't go to plan, and repeat.
When things get better, (most) people naturally see and drop any incorrect notions.

It is just that, again, you need to walk before you run, and act appropriately for your current environment because acting without regards to actual circumstances gets you in India's position today - squandered all opportunities and starting advantages (they were more advanced than China in 1949 due to British leftover infrastructure, and did not have 2 wars happen back to back on their territory), wore out all good will, and still regard themselves as a superpower and competitor to China.
To win, you need to play your cards right. Going all in, all the time is a guaranteed way to end up at the kids table.
FT writers must have finally opened a XHS account...
All we need now is an article titled "Raw, next question", by a white female writer with a Chinese firstname, English surname.
Then you might want to read 论持久战 and try to understand why Mao anticipated the awakening and rising of the average Japanese, who at the time were almost all in for the Japanese war machine, and why he considered that as one of the conditions for defeating the Japanese militarism.
知己知彼 百战不殆. When you know that you are not as strong as your enemy, you need friends. You need to know who your friends are, and know who can become your friends.
Going open source single handedly broke US AI tech's business models, and forever prevented them from monopolizing any market. Think of the revenue they're now not getting.
To be fair,
since China released J 36, J50, deepseek,
the Indian media and self-media have been impressed by China's strength.
