Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Saturday that the U.S. needs a "tutorial" on how to treat other countries equally, marking his latest criticism of U.S. foreign policy as aggressive and undermining to global peace efforts.
Wang said Washington should realize that no country is superior to others and that U.S. officials should realize that Beijing will not be talked down to...
...Earlier this year, Wang stirred controversy by saying the U.S. is "not qualified" to talk from a "position of strength," after Secretary of State Antony Blinken used the phrase to describe the Biden administration's approach to China....
Wang said if the U.S. is unprepared to treat other countries equally, then China and the international community have a responsibility to teach the U.S. a lesson on diplomacy...

as an add-on,
The chinese also want:
China told the U.S. the future must involve removing visa restrictions for Chinese Communist Party members and their families, as well as the registering of Chinese media as foreign agents or foreign missions.
Also on the list of “wrongdoings,” was the suppression of Chinese companies, “harassing” of Chinese students overseas and attacks on the Confucius Institute. Beijing also wants America to not extradite Meng Wanzhou, a Chinese business executive who served as Huawei’s chief financial officer....
...Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian called America’s interference with Hong Kong, Taiwan and in the South China Sea one of Beijing’s “red lines” and warned America was “playing with fire.”

another add-on, ancedotally, China has lifted restrictions on family size. This may be in anticipation of needing more male children for attrition replacements. Parents being more reluctant to sacrifice their only son may be less so when it’s one of a few.
This commentary from Seth Cropsey at The Hill is a pretty accurate description of Chinese foreign policy and world-view. A world-view that western civilization needs to nip in the bud:
“Xi’s 1 July speech, commemorating the Chinese Communist Party’s centenary, was remarkably forthright. In broad terms, Xi issued three clear policy statements. First, to foreign opponents: The CCP would use force to achieve its objectives. Second, to domestic dissenters, particularly those within the party: CCP would not tolerate policy disagreement, instead treating it as an existential threat. And finally, to the Chinese people: Prepare for the demands of the moment, as sacrifice will be necessary. Taiwanese independence, Xi indicated, would trigger a conflict.
But China’s objectives go far beyond Taiwan, and rather towards Xi’s dream of “national rejuvenation,” a concept never explicitly defined in his speech, but one that clearly indicates a world in which Chinese preferences dominate political structures. In short, Xi plans to direct the CCP and Chinese nation in a struggle for global dominance, one that will entail almost certainly a conflict over Taiwan, and most likely an Indo-Pacific military confrontation with the U.S. and its allies.”
