The difference is China is focused on the nuanced security competition. Trump is more focused on economic trade imbalance in general. Chinese sanctions are focused on the military apparatus of the US. The article points out nothing in specific, instead in broad terms, which is understandable considering Western media claims to know Chinese intentions. China don’t want a broad trade war, but a security war, to kick the US out of its regional interest in the Indo-Pacific, and Indochina. This is decades long, that is beyond Trump’s presidential term. China simply needs to focus on economic growth and grow the Promethean fire.
