... the US fears China's mastery of mercantile and industrial capitalism more than it fears China's military power.

China has seized the moment and demonstrated its power in manufacturing, technology, and automation to produce products for a fraction of the prices US factories can deliver those goods. It then mastered the online marketing and logistics of its products.

The deep state and masters of war in the USA fear that China will dominate global manufacturing and marketing and the internet for trade.

China is now dominating some technologies out of the sight of the US because the US banned its products. China is now marketing software for smartphones and computers because the US banned it licensing US software.

The US is unaware that the obstacles that the US placed in front of China just made China stronger.
