China is also undergoing a significant push to decouple intellectually, led by Xi. They are very much talking about this idea of Chinese modernization, and it’s very explicitly presented as modernization that is not Western modernization. Western modernization led to all sorts of colonial, imperialist predation. They’re trying to build a whole Chinese knowledge system, whether it’s economics, philosophy, or social sciences, to effectively decouple from the Western systems that have dominated intellectual thought for the last decades or centuries. And so there’s something deeper there than simply wanting to have a big and powerful country with a really strong military and be really rich.
