the Americans can still afford to be honest when it comes to foreign policy, the Chinese can't just yet, which is why they rely on surreptitious debt-traps and platitudes like the one in your pic
plus, lying and swindling are inherent parts of their culture—a lot of the world operates like this; if you get conned, it's seen as your fault, rather than the conman's
the reality is that the US and China cannot both be world hegemon simultaneously, it just doesn't work like that
it's important to be pragmatic, and not get taken in by rhetoric like a moron
