It's a form of the worst nostalgia politics and not a useful tool for understanding a very different geopolitical reality.
Yeah, but that is the most boring kind of great power conflict. We've had that for centuries. A big country is flexing and wants others to accept a subordinate role; the others don't like it. That's British Empire II at the very most, lacks the punch and vim of a new Cold War.

I think you're trying to force a very clearly ideological conflict - free speech-vs-CCP censorship - into a great power model that's far less applicable than the Cold War one. Think about the sheer amount of time and money the CCP puts into political influence work globally.

I guess it strikes me as not different in principle than what Britain would have done back in the day if you made fun of Queen Victoria. The limits of CCP influence and control operations seem to be stuff related to China. Maybe I'm not understanding your point?
