Bingo! I think you just partly explained why U.S. trade policies with China have changed. We have gone from an 'unprecedented scope of cooperation" stated in the 2015 U.S. National Strategy. Then as we watched China's unprecedented growth we went to 'must compete’ and ‘compete with all tools’ in the 2017 report.

It doesnt have jack squat to do with one mans ego, orange hair, trump bad man etc etc. It's competitive business practice and national interests. Of course there is no doubt it will always be used in one way or another for political hay by both parties. Nor is China some unstoppable sly economic juggernaut outsmarting outplaying the world.
