Wow, I had no idea about that movie. The trailer and its popularity really makes it clear they are mentally preparing their population for war with the US in a big way.
They're very advanced in that effort. Their relationship with US media is deep, and the messaging US audiences see and hear is very soft on China and the CCP. Where is the Hollywood movie that criticizes their behavior at all? I can think of none.
Xi has great ambitions outside China, whereas our attentions have turned inward. With us seeing the adversary as being within our own ranks, he has a distracted and weakened opponent.
