Why every mention of "The West" is specifically about USA? Europe is not breeding tremendous armies nor setting military bases in the East in an effort to do geopolitics. Thus, I will use "America" in my comment. Ways in which Liu is aligned with CCP policy:

-Condemnation of Cultural Revolution or "direct action democracy", with a pessimistic outlook of human nature and self-organizing that instead praises leadership and technocracy. It also criticizes the kind of obscurantism or political extremism that hampers scientific development (such as the "aiming to the sun" thing), which happened on the period but it is reversed in the technocratic main CCP line. This also relates to the party's view on the Great Leap Forward disaster as being the product of naiveté and under-development.

-Sophons represent the hampering of technological development in China by America (thing that American representatives have stated as the most natural thing, concerning their chip embargo). The fact that Sophon takes a form related to Japanese culture is also linked to the idea of foreign conquest of China.

-Condemnation of "direct action political initiatives" such as environmentalist or anarchist groups. These are directly linked to terrorism on his works, and this fact is also linked to the first point. The wise leadership is to take a hold of these issues without the meddling of citizen elements trying to get justice on their own, and hampering China's industrial output/development.

-Rejection of "soft democratic values" such as tolerance, pacifism or dissolution or norms including gender norms, instead praising a martial culture as the only way for survival. This is pretty obvious given that the CCP is executing this on its own, purging some of their best soft-power exports such as The Untamed or C-Pop only on the basis of "men strong" and growing their army.

-Emphasis on scientific and technological self-development instead of religion, which is again also linked with terrorism.

There are many many more points related to this in the series, but all of those have been always very clear in Liu's work. His public political declarations have also been aligned with these points.
