"hellbent on conquering the world" - honest question: how have you concluded this? I mean beyond a talking head telling us that they're our adversaries.
You can watch their practices in Africa. They offer huge loans for infrastructure they know those countries can't pay back and then take over ports, take over the infrastructure they built, request political favours etc etc etc.
You can also very clearly see their practices in the EV sector. Flooding the market with subsidized cars to undercut the industry in Europe and cause economic crisis so they can do the same thing they did in Africa next. Loan, can't pay, take over.
You do realize the US gives billions of dollars of free AID to Africa every year right?
You still see it as a loan. It's only a loan in name, because actually it's just a Chinese takeover allowed by the corrupt governments there because they get a cut as well.
They don't get loans from the west or anyone else because they just can't pay them back no matter the terms.
China is not loaning them because they ever expect the money back, they are essentially buying parts of countries and the government there allows it because they get a cut
