From the CCP's perspective, the USA is the bully of Asia, and the CCP will stop them. The USA's military-industrial complex has been surrounding and baiting the CCP for years. Will the CCP take the bait? So far, wisely, they have not, but that could change. The military-industrial complex sees the CCP as their only worthy opponent at the moment, hence the CCP-focused chip on their shoulder.
Communism is its own worst enemy. There's no reason to use blunt force kinetics on communism. Given enough rope, they will always hang themselves. Can we just bomb China with woke libtards? It's the only thing America still manufactures.

I like maps; I always have. I have a bunch of them in my study, current and not current, because I like reading them. Yeah, one can find maps on the internet, but it is not the same thing (at least, not to me).
That being said, I find it difficult to see how you think we have surrounded China. To the north, China is bordered by Russia and Mongolia; to the northwest, Kazakstan; to the west, Pakistan, Kyrgyztan, and Tajikistan; to the southwest, India; to the south, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Burma, Laos, and Vietnam. The only quarter the US has any influence is to the west, out in the ocean, with Japan, South Korea (well, it’s a peninsula, anyway), and Taiwan; the Philippines are to the southwest, across the South China Sea. And Australia? Way the hell down south in a different hemisphere entirely. We have NO influence at all with the countries to the north, west, and south of China.
“Will the CCP take the bait?”
What bait? China has been encroaching on its neighbors for decades, and even militarily taking over islands to which other countries have rightful claims (and even building islands out in the sea that pose threats to everyone in the vicinity.
“Communism is its own worst enemy.”
The problem with that argument is communism tends to murder millions of people along the way.
“There’s no reason to use blunt force kinetics on communism.”
Sounds suspiciously like what some said about another country, but in Europe, almost 90 years ago.
“Given enough rope, they will always hang themselves.”
See my comment above re: the murdered millions.
“Can we just bomb China with woke libtards?”
I actually like that idea!
