When a nation is a superpower, it is able to influence the behavior of weaker states. It will exert its influence for a variety of reasons, but it is inevitable that with power comes the exertion of influence.

China will use its power to prop up autocratic regimes across the world and export its technology and methods to make such autocracy possible and sustainable.

China represents a threat to global democracy which must be recognized and must be treated as such.

When I was younger I wanted to visit China. Currently I have no plans to ever do so, China is a scary country.

You're not the first person recently to express such. Have you considered "the other China"; Taiwan? It has much of what you might have hoped to find in PRC (depending on what you were hoping to find there), and perhaps lacks some of what you might not like.

I am hoping that the EU can devise a plan to fight China ever-increasing threats to democracy AND re-introduce manufacturing as a strong industry in all of the Union. It's obvious that individual European counties simply cannot withstand China on their own.

Just saying, historically Han ethnicity is pretty bad at expansion and exert influence overseas otherwise WWIII would happen many years ago. Of course no one knows if that’ll change as China rises in modern age

Not just propping up autocratic regimes, but they also infiltrate democratic countries by providing funding/support to naive and/or corrupted politicians in the West.

Does this affect foreigners? If I have a AT&T plan, it should work out-of-box in China via roaming? Hope that is the case...

Phone plans from outside don’t roam easily in China, and its super cheap to just by a local China mobile SIM, so most people don’t bother. Well, now it might be a bit more difficult, but typically foreigners just need their passports to get one.
