I think we need to work out a common vision. How would a peaceful, happy and prosperous future for both the West and China look like? How can we cooperate in reaching this? How can we secure buy-in into this vision from the Chinese people?
At the same time their needs to be deterrence of course, but I think we are already doing that part.

Western leaders can't allow that. A better solution is to constantly harass, undermine, and isolate China much like we did with the USSR. Apply enough sustained pressure and hopefully the country will eventually collapse into a violent internal revolution.

All segments of society must know the stake and be on the same page. The fact that one part of American society is pretending like nothing is happening while the other prepares for creates a situation that lacks clarity. This is how you stumble into it. Everything must be crystal clear.
