Without understanding both this longstanding and fundamental Chinese worldview – and the severe cognitive dissonance incurred due to its obvious non-factuality over the last two or three centuries – you miss almost everything that underlies what China is doing in the here and now. In short, China is making an all-out effort to restore itself to what it sees as its rightful place as the top dog on the planet.

After all, they are zhong guo, the middle kingdom. (Middle of what, I wonder?)They know they can launch but not land because they will just keep falling.
