UK spy agencies urge China rethink once Covid-19 crisis is over: Britain’s intelligence community believes the UK needs to reassess its relationship with China after the coronavirus crisis subsides and consider if tighter controls are needed over high-tech and other strategic industries.

The problem is I don't understand how come a nation want to become an powerful state and challenging the current world dominate state, doesn't counts as having a global ambition?

I agree China is not engaging into western style colonialism, but I don't agree their own goal will be everyone got a fair share of the global pie.

(Although Xi had already makes a lot of enemies within the party by his policy, hence the mass censorship on anything related to Xi in Chinese social media. For now, the CCP doesn't seems to have a mutual agreement.)

Also how China going to assure there wouldn't be another state challenging them even they came out on top of the USA? How are they going to maintain their trade routes without being somewhat dominate? They may not be intentional, but they need to become dominate if they want to maintain their global position.

I hope you can clarify the logic.
