Sorry. China is weaponizing the state acting in all aspects of economy as it is absolute power. The US can't continue w business as usual without addressing it and without opening the country.
The usa, notwithstanding the Iraq war and other stupidity, is history's most peaceful dominant power. Pax americanus. China, an authoritarian and oppressive state, has not earned the right to american-style world domination. Therefore, they must be stopped.

Well, China has a long and distinguished history. I think the Chinese people are ready to accept US terms of reciprocality, openness, fairness. The problem is the CCP, one of the last dictatorships of a major country left. They need to justify their existence by being provider.
