      The entire power dynamic between the US and China since Xi has come to power has shifted to the point that gambling on the past being useful reference in the face of the openly hostile competition that dominates now is not very wise.

         What? This is not some sort of historical lesson! Attacks, sanctions etc is all very recent. US can not even manufacture air defense missiles (a few dozens per month is not manufacturing).

         Chinese leadership has nothing to gain from direct confrontation. US elites can gamble stock market, get their 10% cut from MIC... Unstability is great for them!
