Another declassified study shows the Air Force misled the public in the 1950s about UFOs to conceal the CIA's spy plane testing.

I wouldn’t blame Cixin Liu. People forget that sci-fi is often about the present day and that his use of the dark forest in his novels is not necessarily and endorsement of the theory as a solution to the Fermi paradox.
I also feel like, in the series, the dark forest is a reasonable stand in for capitalism, especially considering the obvious references to colonialism and imperialism. The final book even suggests the universe will cease to be livable unless sacrifices are made in the interests of cooperation.
It can be understood like that, but if that was his intention, it fell flat on face, judging from the reception.
I blame him for popularisation of that theory which was so fringe it didn't even had a name previously.
