The train of history has left the station while this American scholar is stuck to the past.
In the past 40 years, China has never openly challenged America's leadership position under Deng Xiaoping's doctrine of 韬光养晦 to keep a low profile. China has been taking free ride on the global economic systems hand-built by the US. Neither side has chosen to confront the other head on.
Well, time has changed. Under Xi Jinping, China has been aggressively pursuing the goal of destroying the world order and dethroning the US.
How could the US sit quietly and watch its turf destroyed by China? Not only the US will answer China's challenge, but it also will beat the shit out of China.

自上世纪70年代以来,亚洲地区的稳定就一直靠的是美国与中国的关系缓和 - Not anymore and China doesn't want to keep peaceful relationship with US now since "East/China Up and West/American Down"
TO 一点小看法:其实在川普执政初期,中国的想法很简单,就是和美国搞G2,让中美共治全世界。川普访问中国时,得到了隆重的接待,就是例证。但问题是川普知道,美国现有的经济发展模式根本不可能坚持下去。因为按照当时美国的形势,用不了20年,美国将会变成什么都不能制造,什么都靠进口的国家。这个时候,川普喊出了制造业回流美国,同时他的手段就是给中国加关税。而从这一点上开始,中美关系开始恶化,而中美双方的民粹也都开始发酵。到如今,已经不是中国政府或是美国政府能够控制的了,唯有到10年以后,中国从经济和军事上可以碾压美国的时候,美国才能接受现实。
