Sun Tzu once said: "In order to defeat your enemy, first you must know your enemy."
Seems like the West (or the Anglo-Saxon portion of it, at least) is hell-bent on doing the exact opposite.
Sun Tzu also said:
#1: If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles;
#2: If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat; and
#3: If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
While China is working hard to progress from #2 towards #1 through expanding understanding and cooperation with everyone else as much as possible; the West is going in the opposite direction, i.e. from #2 towards #3 by gradually shutting out China and setting up their own version of the "Iron Curtain".

. Many of my colleagues also think Europe has warehouses full of solar panels, heat pumps, windmills etc all that is needed is a signature from provincial governor "We will innovate/build our asses out of this crisis" while i think this will become a structural thing at least for the next decade maybe even the next two decades... Big big majority are still very pro Ukraine, Russian information streams have pretty much been blocked, even RT telegram channel has been blocked over here.
