I don't believe the US actually have a plan, they're just throwing things at the wall and see what sticks. How do I know? Consider this:
Doesn't make sense right? That money is peanuts and it makes no sense for US to pick a fight with these countries at this time. Yet this is still happening, why? No leadership at the top. Biden is supposed to set up an overall plan on what to do and different aspects of government machinery are suppose to work towards it. That's not happening so in absense of leadership different government departments continue to undermine each other in their day to day work all to justify their own existence.
I agree with that idea, as I have suspected before. They were throwing everything at China, but nothing was particularly effective. It really has arrived at a point were they just try to throw enough mud and see what sticks, seems to me a classic American expression. That also shows that there is no coherent plan. That is part ONE.
Part TWO is even more sneaky, because part two is not directed at China. In its wisdom, the Americans believe there is a willing coalition against China, and all they have to do is provide leadership. That is plain silly.
For those of us who live in a British Parliamentary system, when was the last time a back bench rebellion was successful? I cannot remember one. Yet, that was how Boris made his U-turn on Huawei. So there is a good chance there is another U-turn down the road.
The is the sneaky part of part two. The Americans are going around making threats and picking small fights with their allies to see who is with them or against them.
All of this seems to relate back to China, China, Chyna, and that there is no strategy as they are in the process of making one up.
The CCP will look upon this as weakness, which I would assume they would, and I would agree with that assessment.
