Agreed. Obama is very anti-Chinese and his anti-China policy is based on military strategies. He realised that America is losing valuable time and money with all the wars in the middle East, while China was catching up in both military and economy. Hence the ' pivot to Asia (China)'.Initially I was worried about Obama's "pivot to Asia" signifying a focused anti-China policy.
China managed to stay stealthy while the US was occupied by Iraq and other Middle East wars.
China managed to get another 4 years of valuable time under Trump who turned out to be a mercantilist rather than a military China hawk.
I think the next 4 years should also be safe for development due to burgeoning US debt and identity/race politics. China keeps getting lucky.
Every year without military conflict is a good year. Once the dollar falls, Taiwan and other disobedient neighbors should just surrender.
With Trump, it's America first and to make America great again. He is a business man and his strategy is based on commerce. Unfortunately he is influenced by military hawks and Chinese haters. Now we get this tinderbox situation.
Another year of peace is another year gained for China, until Trump is able to convinced the quad or some Asian countries into joining a hot war. But this Covid pandemic may enforced a year or two of peace.
