    I think the Chinese are starting to realize that the US is simply impossible to work with. You don’t have to understand the internal dynamics of how racist the US really is to see how they consistently behave. Any deal you make with the US, they ultimately renege on and stab you in the back. Eventually, the pattern becomes clear. China just happens to be really patient, and they they’re generally risk averse. So, they consistently humor the US while quietly making plans to insulate themselves.

      that would explain why they’re keeping an arm’s distance away from their trade partners that have been attacked by the us.

        It’s a smart strategy because the longer these countries have to suffer abuse, the more desperate they will be when they come to their senses and decide to make deals. China can focus on establishing stronger ties with friendly countries in the meantime putting itself in increasingly stronger position to weather the crisis.
