I don't think China is our mortal enemy or that we should formally declare war. Nowhere in my comments do I make any of the spurious statements you're trying to attribute to me. However, it is clear that China /is/ our enemy, "mortal" though they may not be (currently). China exists for China, and I personally hold no animus towards China for that, but I am also not so much of a fool that I would willingly employ and inform my enemy of my secrets, regardless of whether I hold no ill will for their rational self-interest as a state.
It is possible, and logically consistent, to both recognize someone is your enemy and to have respect for their position and no ill regard for their existence. It is possible, and logically consistent, to have respect for someone's position and yet identify the foolishness of providing them employment, succor, or otherwise helping them to achieve their aims, aims that are to your own detriment. Just as China is primarily acting out of rational self-interest, so too should the West. The West is far too willing to cut off its own toes just to signal some virtue which has no bearing or relation to reality. Reality always wins, and I'm merely recognizing reality.
And what is peace, if not being willing to agree to disagree? I disagree with China's aims, but agree that their aims are beneficial to China. I am not obligated to assist them in their aims, nor does refusing to do so obligate me to go to war with them. Nor does it obligate anyone else in the West to assist them or to battle them, we can merely refuse to help those who are openly our enemies and let them go their own way.
