The Chinese economy is going tits and it's head of state feels threatened by Winnie the Pooh, so I don't feel the "Western" security is particularly under threat.
The threat is to the liberties of ordinary people in China and Hong Kong. Of course the West does pay for Chinese imports which improve the material quality of our lives but it also launders and hides cash of its kleptocrats
Love China/Chinese. Detest the CCP.
They're authoritarian, and don't attempt to hide it. A part of me thinks they're doing a controlled demolition to their economy. While the Wests' is crumbling, fast.
We have a few thousand years of history to understand what, evil, unaccountable governments are capable of. Today, Hong Kong, tomorrow, (insert location here)
And, personally, I think part of the reason governments are worried is;
Our collective thinking.
In the West, we think we're so unique and different from each other. But, we are not. We are all mongrels with common ancestors.
Also, there has been no other time in history like now. Technology has fried our little brains and revealed that we are actually all the same. Just with different ideologies. Governments don't like this.
We are more connected now, and this does frighten governments. But, only evil governments.
Think about it. I never have to leave my house. I can get anything ordered to my door. (I Think of the song "wicked and I'm lazy"). When in history could a human be so lazy and unproductive.
A good example is how we look at mental illness. We don't diagnose depression as having mind goblins anymore and treat it with, piss in the ear and a leech on the tongue.
These discoveries came from progression of thought and ideas, not denial of truth and reality.
Governments cannot have free thinking people, who, want, clean environments, healthy food, good opportunities. ETC
And, I know the Western countries have their issues. But, I don't have to worry about my government coming for me, for something as trivial as calling our leaders, well.. Pooh.
We are aware of what is happening around us and inside us and we are able to discuss this, without the fear of being arrested.
We have come such a long way and made massive strides in our progression as humans. But, we appear to be going backwards.
I also understand, that the West, you know.... brutalised the Chinese people. But they can have the Royal Family in my opinion.
But, I understand It is not black and white.
Also, who would actually fight a rich mans war today. Fak off.
