This is interesting on a number of fronts -- the strange elite consensus on a hardline on China and the lack of public buy-in. I have to say, the public seems wiser than the elite on this.https://twitter.com/dandrezner/status/1090955669581324290 …

It's not right. In 2016 both Clinton and Trump fought over who was tougher on China. I don't think this is an "elite" concern.https://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/30/business/international/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-trade-china.html …
