You demonstrate the strength of the west… China wants you to believe it’s inevitable that it will lead the world, and the lack of criticism indicates a lack of weakness (creating an incentive to silence critics). Versus the west: the welcome criticism helps identify and prioritize weaknesses that can be addressed in the future, helping to insure the dominance of the west.

You should be worried… without out it we will fail to address our failures and accelerate our loss of influence.
