None of what you've described will control China's behavior. The window of opportunity to effectively manage their belligerence was closed shortly after we allowed them into the WTO, which was when we had greater leverage to shoehorn their development than we do now.

Right now we can only manage to have a marginal impact on their behavior with the tools we have now. Everything else is just a waiting game until our economies can adjust and de-risk while looking for more market disruptions with which we can gain an edge over China.

If you really care enough about this, there are plenty of tools to which you can use to gain essential knowledge into cybersecurity and other critical technology sectors, and learn yourself into the field of information security.
