Absolutely, China being communist makes them the enemy.
But to be fair, capitalism is also a declared enemy to communist countries.
Both are equally wrong.

    capitalism is also a declared enemy to communist countries

    Colonialism tends to be the explicit professed enemy. Communism, as a practical economic policy, revolves around securing domestic resources for the benefit of the local public. China's managed this phenomenally.

    What Chinese policymakers object to is extraction of Chinese surplus at a loss. And foreign capitalists hate this, because it cuts into their profits.
