Did the US Misread China? "THE EMPEROR’S NEW CLOTHES"

Today I saw on the website of the American Outlook magazine a picture of Chairman Mao wearing a suit and holding US dollars on the magazine cover, with the title "THE EMPEROR’S NEW CLOTHES". The article talks about China's rapid development at present, and it is expected that in 30 years, China will develop into a superpower. By that time, when China's huge national strength can rival that of the United States, it will be even less likely to follow America's every word. Since the United States anticipates that China will develop towards democracy, the article raises the question: "What if China does not take the path of democratization?" We will have to wait a little longer to see the full content, but it reflects from the side that when the forward path of China is still unclear, the Western world has become concerned about China's rapid development.
