>>>They havent been hostile to the world, just to factions within a few western countries

Western countries have an ignorant habit of posturing like they are more than 15% of the world population, they even go so far as to frame themselves as the global majority in many cases.

Free trade expansion, economic cooperation, debt forgiveness, etc... encompassing more than 70% of the world population make claims of general Chinese hostility sound like westcentric nonsense.

All the lab leak theories are about Chinese labs, not US.

None of the people you quoted are "thought leaders" in any meaningful sense. I'm sure there are plenty of talking heads on Chinese media who spout very aggressive rhetoric. The US will never go to war with China unless it invades Taiwan.
