It's so hard to say because so many people have been literally paid to look away.
Think about the battle lines
Darryl Morey and the entire NBA
Southpark
John Cena
Many famous investment firms/banks
Our medical/science establishment
Our international institutions (WHO, UN, etc)
Many of our major politicians
Heck even on HN. When I post about HK, Taiwan, Xinjiang, South China Sea, organ harvesting, etc, I'm more likely to get downvoted than anything else here.
At a minimum it's nice to see our media and policy elite slowly start to wake up to the fact that not only is the regime in China an absolutist, tyranical, genocidal totalitarian state, but that they are playing for keeps.
Think the reason we don't want to think about it or talk about it aside from the money/influence campaign is that we literally know how this ends.
Either with a lot of printed money and an internal collapse of their state (aka cold war with the USSR) or a lot of dead young men on a beach somewhere in the South China Sea.
