America wants to contain China or stop China's rise.Since they are unable to do that right now, in the economic, technology, military spheres, where China's economy and international trade keeps growing, quantum computers and Mars missions, and China sets up a military base right beside Afghanistan with the approval of the Shanghai group, is proof enough that this American lead containment of China is non-existent.
American containment of China, may exist in people's minds, but it does not exist in reality.
It is like the Americans are saying now, is that since they cannot contain China of today, they reserve the right to contain China later in the future, after they solidify there alliance system.
CCP would think, fine, whatever.
The future is the future, who owns it will be the one who does a better job, at the economics, technology, military.
