We will see on that one, it’s only a few weeks to the end of this year, anything can happen
Give it time though, when the western world collapses due to the virus, China's time will come sooner or later and given that this virus isn't going away, the media will eventually have to concentrate on the virus only since the more they look at China, the more the enable the spread and the more the health system will break down and the more people will die and eventually, this amount of deaths will be too difficult to ignore since as of now, this virus is evolving and soon, what ever hastily made western vaccines are not going to work at all. This is turning from a slow burn to a full on blaze
The Chinese are already leveraging the English social networks to project their power and opinion. Like on youtube and twitter, many Chinese diplomats and commentators are already projecting their comments to the world by using the English language. Many more Chinese nationals and KOLs are now climbing the firewall, making their presence felt on youtube.The thing is..... I believe China needs to build up its soft power alot more before it tries to leverages its hard power, you'll see the western powers use its hard power in the egregious way possible and face minimal criticism(usually just some grumbling that's forgotten within weeks), let alone actual consequences. First, what they are gonna do? Sanction and invade themselves? China is the only country with enough hard power to do that outside of the west and they are scared shitless at the mere idea of it.
Second, they control the global English media and the most spoken language globally is English and everything reported will naturally be framed in favour themselves and unfavourably against their rivals, plus, their entertainment industry does goes a long way to cushion foreign public opinion against you in neutral countries.

Now I couldn't be bothered to read the details, I saw this on my newsfeed. I don't understand what this whole rule of law thing that Westerners keep talking about means. Seems more like rules for thee but not for me. Rule of law only when I win and you lose.
