One thing I'm worried about is that China might be allowing this exposure on purpose. By this winter there won't be any Aircraft Carrier fleets in the Pacific Occean. If this information is correct, then I would expect a Pearl Harbor like attack from China in either the US or one of its allies, most likely Tiawan but Japan or even US mainland is possible. With these negative reports going out about China, goading the US population into a war with China wouldn't be too hard with these reports being allowed to come out.
Hopefully my assessment is wrong and these reports about Chinese corruption getting exposed is due to people having enough of their crap, but I'm still warry about why now.
That's not how China operates. You will likely never see an overt attack like Pearl Harbor by China. That's just not how their mentality works. Their core philosophy is a slow, steady and unrelenting pressure on their opponents. It's not a lot of pressure, nor is it focused on any single point; it is just an unyielding pressure which never lets up. The Chinese are very pragmatic and believe they have the time to wait out their opponents, and that they will prevail just through sheer numbers. Historically, it has proven to be a surprisingly effective strategy.
One way you can know this is by looking at what happens whenever China tries to do something rash. It generally always fails. Just look at the real estate boom throughout Asia, especially SE Asia, since about 1998. All of that investment is now coming back to haunt China in a big way. It's so severe, it could possibly collapse the Chinese economy if they don't figure out a solution. The... "Field of Dreams - Build it and they will come.".... strategy has failed stupendously. It's actually astonishing how badly that whole initiative has failed.
