The US cannot object to Chinese ' hegemony' and support Izraeli hegemony simultaneously. The world will not swallow such hypocrisy.
Also, far from the Chinese flexing their own muscle inside their own backyard, the cause of the next American wars- and America loves wars- will be the realization that its days of dominance are over. That will be the most dangerous period, America coming to terms with its own decline.
Anyway- the current virus pandemic is a total game-changer. The US has spent hundreds of trillions of dollars on weaponry and ' defense '- only to be out-flanked by a microscopic entity with no brain at all.
Of course, Trump's industrial/military masters will want him to trash universal bans on bacteriological warfare as a ' response ' . Trying to prise the Chinese out of their own territory seems a childish and trivial matter by comparison.
