>It is my belief that China will steal what it can, corrupt who it can, threaten who it can and most importantly, re-invent what it is missing

So, from 10,000ft I see what you're saying, and might even agree.

But what possesses someone to describe a people or country like this? We do the same with Russia; "other" them, like they have inherently "evil" traits. As if the US isn't above or involved in espionage.

I guess I'm confused how otherwise seemingly intelligent people can look at another country and think their people are fundamentally different. But god forbid you point that lens at the wrong group.
