Its life. The negative propaganda has been going on, since 2013 when they started the BRI.

Nothing much we can do about it (we can't vote in the US elections).

Its very much like the 1980s, when Japan was the centre of attention, when it was rising. Japan backed down under the Plaza accord - basically destroyed their economy - and Japan has been in Stagflation since.

China is different as they don't rely on the US for protection.

Biden and most of Neo Cons and Neo Liberals are driven by ideology and the need for the US to remain the sole hegemon.

Trump, although crass, is Transactional. Everything is about a deal. That's also the bottom line for the Chinese: win-win deals (they are actually capitalists only with a Communist symbol).

And as long as Trump isn't influenced by the Neo Cons, they will be able to make a deal. He is a businessman and the Chinese want to do business.
