Not only China, but any country which is obviously starting to advance more than US becomes a target for destruction by them, Just like they hate Russia and are on a proxy war with them, using Ukraine as a medium. They act as friends, but with selfish dangerous intentions(Ukraine would learn better soon). US quest for dominance while other countries worshipped isn't a new thing, now they have exhausted all options to reduce China's progress indirectly and now they are being more direct with Trump and his tariff hike madness leading the show. I doubt trump still knows what he is doing, he's gone very extreme and is manipulating global economy with his actions. I hope relaxing this tariff hike would give him and his comrades enough time to think through their next line of action because other countries Just like China who's leading the retaliatory tariffs, would still be weighing their options by now and if they don't get it right and continue with their tariff hike strategy, more countries would likely revolt against the US, form trade partners and make US a common enemy and that would see the US economy in possible disaster.
