Everyone who is interested in such approaches to the Fermi paradox or other things concerning futurism I highly recommend the YouTube channel from Isaac Arthur, he does great and long stuff on a huge array of these topics while staying grounded on our current understanding of physics. Additionally, he oftentimes talks about sci-fi concepts like the dark forest theory from the book of the same name and how bullshit some of these are. Great channel.
I know that Luo Ji is stupid for thinking that, but you know, many things in his trilogy don't make any sense like instantaneous communication between the sophons and the Trisolarians which even quantum physics prohibits. But well, I've never read a sci-fi story that really made completely sense.

Also, Cixin Liu's view on China is pretty much pic related. Not that he has a choice, but still.
