The root of the rot has been identified (and also looks like what we would expect):

Wang Huning is arguably the single most influential “public intellectual” alive today.
A member of the CCP’s seven-man Politburo Standing Committee, he is China’s top ideological theorist, quietly credited as being the “ideas man” behind each of Xi’s signature political concepts
...
Wang speaks positively and at length about Allen Bloom’s book The Closing of the American Mind
Of course:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_BloomCategories:
...
Jewish American academics
So what is it that Bloom and Wang both like?
Bloom’s main idea is that today’s university education no longer enables its subjects to grasp the traditional values that founded Western society.
...
cultural relativism succeeded in destroying the idea of Western centrism
...
The universities responsible for conducting higher education do not provide knowledge of the glorious history of Western philosophy and literature.
...
Students watch “Kramer vs. Kramer” to learn about divorce and sexuality, but few saw “Anna Karenina” or “The Red and the Black” as indispensable in their own lives.
...
Wang echoes Bloom’s description of a vast “nihilism” gripping America’s college-educated young adults, a worldview that could conceive of no unifying, bedrock truths and consequently has nothing to build society on top of.
Of course the last paragraph is untrue. The only unifying bedrock truths we need to build America are that oppressors are evil and that it is our duty to destroy evil.
Wang finds many praiseworthy things about America. He admires how energetic and visionary its people can be, he admires the speed and innovation of its companies (Wang spends several pages marveling at the wonders of travel agencies)
It would be more accurate to say that Wang admires:

Wang raves about the productivity of an American farm: A single farmer can raise thousands of pigs
Firstly:

https://trueleft.createaforum.com/true-left-vs-right/western-civilization-sustainable-evil/msg14018/?topicseen#msg14018Continuing:
Pig farming can be described as dirty and smelly. This farm is highly automated, but dirt and odors cannot be excluded. Pigs do not know about cleanliness, there is no way out. When we visited the pig shed, the stench was so bad that it was discouraging. But the farm owner had to do it. He said that after work every day, it takes several showers to wash the smell away. This is something that I’m afraid not many people can accept in the United States.
The fewer can accept it, the better!
And no, pigs actually know a lot about cleanliness:
https://animaldome.com/why-are-pigs-clean-animals/In failing to realize that it is the very Western institution he is praising which makes the imprisoned pigs dirty, Wang reveals only his own utter lack of empathic sensitivity.
Continuing:
This farm owner told me that he was devastated when his son graduated from college and told him he didn’t want to come back for a while. But he believed he would come back eventually. If he doesn’t come back, the farm will be a problem because he has only one son and there is no one to succeed him.
…
The high output of agricultural production ensures the stability of political and social life. Imagine what will happen one day when Americans do not have enough food.
If Americans switched to eating the pig feed instead of the pigs (and similarly for other ranch animals), America could feed a human population of billions with ease!
Wang’s observations add new context to China’s recent crackdown on powerful tech companies like Tencent and Alibaba. While foreigners often frame this crackdown as a general attack on monopolies or rival power structures, it’s not that simple. China is attacking companies that dominate the “soft” side of tech—video games, social media, and online shopping—while leaving the “hard” side largely untouched.
It is the hard side which should be attacked:
https://trueleft.createaforum.com/true-left-vs-right/if-western-civilization-does-not-die-soon/and the soft side which should be celebrated:
Aristotle said more than 2,000 years ago that the family is the cell of society. In the years since the war, the cell, the family, has disintegrated in the United States.
Even before reaching this part, I had already guessed that Wang is an Aristotle-worshipper.
And given that Wang is an Aristotle-worshipper, can you guess the next part? I did:
While the subtext of America’s racial divide permeates much of America Against America, Wang only explicitly addresses it very late in the book, when he turns to what he calls the “black challenge” or, more frightfully, the “black storm.”
“Some people have compared the black issue to the biggest social problem, saying that it will eventually become a fatal problem,” writes Wang. “In the United States, it can be deeply felt that there is some truth in this statement.”
No, it is the beginning of the solution:
https://trueleft.createaforum.com/allies/blm/Of course Wang does not understand this:
I have been to black neighborhoods in San Francisco, New York, New Haven, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Atlanta, and the impression is extremely bad. Generally speaking, they are more dirty and poor than the areas where white people live, and it is obvious that they are poor areas. In front of many houses, there are some lazy black people sitting. [When] young people stand in groups on the street, people’s hearts beat [faster].
Wang Huning a.k.a. Karen Wang.
Black criminals specialize in robbing Chinese people of their money.

If anyone deserves to be described as specializing in robbing Chinese people, it should be "whites" (including Jews). But Wang is an Aristotle-worshipping Karen, so what can we expect from him?
What do our enemies think of Wang?
The rise of Wang Huning’s China, then, is not a calamity for the United States. It is an opportunity for a deep, harsh, even brutal self-reflection.
No. Wang does not want friendship between China and America. He wants friendship between Aristotelian "New China" and the Manifest Destiny occupation in the US. If we want friendship between China and America as fellow former victims of Western colonialism, China must get rid of Wang and America must get rid of Bloom.
