Menace. It was the yellow menace. A hundred and twenty years ago the specter of a billion Asians overrunning and subjugating the whites (thereby turning the tables on their colonial masters) was used as a political tool to scare the public into taking a hard line against China...

I don't think the issue is binary: Trump has made a lot of mistakes and China fails to answer all the questions in the eyes of a lot of people.
