The "our" in "our adversary" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Adversary to who? The 0.01% who are CEOs, IP holders, and State Department goons for sure, but I don't think the average American has any reason to fear China over their own government.

Not sure the American government is really a problem compared to American megacorporations, but I suppose at this point that's kind of splitting hairs since the government's been at the beck and call of said megacorps more and more so since like 1980

The CEO class has a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.

The Chinese government has a vested interest in American instability and sowing chaos and further economic dependency on China

So I guess you could say bothe of these are “our adversaries” depending on your point of view
