Absolutely, I find the increase of our politics and media attacking 'The Russians' and 'The Chinese' in recent years very concerning. Especially with the lack of reflection on our own actions both nationally and internationally. Like pervasive surveillance, hacking, military aggression and influencing elections, just to name a few.

I rather find it concerning that Russia has been financing the far-right, nationalist and anti-European parties that have risen over entire Europe, and that China is using debt as political leverage to gain power over poor African countries.
Add to this that many Western companies and politicians only look for the next quarter/election results and not 10, 20 or heaven forbid 50 years in the future... while this is precisely what Russia and China are doing. A splintered EU won't do a thing when Russia once again screws over human rights, and no one in deep debts to China (or with all manufacturing outsourced to China...) will dare criticize them when they start executing the Uyghur Muslims.
