Schrodinger's Nationalism:
China both picks up fights with neighbours and revises its history to encourage nationalism in Chinese people and distract from domestic troubles - and it is also undemocratic, authoritarian, unresponsive and doesn't care what people think.

#Huawei is both a company that steals IP and is linked to the PLA and receives massive state support and is a threat to western technology - and it also wins contracts only because its products are cheap and competitive pricing, not because of quality.

Schrodinger's Loss of Face:
China is both worried about its international reputation and "loss of face" - and it also bullies other countries and doesn't care what the word thinks and wants to be "feared, not admired".
