GDP per capita is a quality of life measurement, not a measurement of a countries ability to be a threat - poor North Korea is still a threat to the region and China is much more wealthy. They have a 10+ trillion USD economy and an authoritarian government with a leader who just made himself president for life.

Economic espionage / IP theft, infiltrating academia to steal research, state subsidies / dumping, general espionage / information gathering (US citizens included), exporting internet control and surveillance technologies to other authoritarian countries, aggressive military operations / island building in the South China Sea, and more.

If you had any curiosity you can google and learn more. Maybe try "Uyghurs in China" to get a sense of the type of government we're dealing with.

And my point was you don't know crap about China.
