Very well said. I want to hear what your opinion is on Xi himself. My personal impression - drastically different from the prevailing one here, I know - is that he wants to be de facto emperor and all his actions have been striving toward this goal.
Much like Putin is Russia first and Trump is America first, Xi is China first (with a backup plan - Xi's daughter is a naturalized American citizen).
China first in the sense that it is the Chinese form of communism first, not the Chinese people; and that China has to dominate the Asian continent. In some ways he has to seek to be the Chinese ruler for life, because if he doesn't, he'll end up either in house arrest or dead after his time in power.
By the way, two decades ago there was a leaked Jesuits plan that the world be divided into 4 major powers: America, Russia, China and the last one I can't remember. Look how close we are to that reality.
