I was watching Bloomberg News. It seems to me America needs an Enemy all the time. China is perpetually accused by America for being a threat and danger to the rest of the world. When I was growing up, this is Cold War after World War 2. The enemy was Russia. Russia help Trump get elected and now a friend. So the new (in American terminology) bogeyman is China.
The press conference by American leaders are always how America is "rape" by China for the trade deficits. They buy the goods China makes and enjoy a high standard of living and in turn Trump label that as unfair trade and call it a rape. They tried to cripple the high tech Chinese companies by accusing them instruments of Government and forcing other nations not to buy their products.
The history academics say these are signs of power shift of hegemony. Britain was a great empire and decline. America took its place. Now America is declining and doing all it can to stay in power.
