the tactics..is to encourage US co and partner to shift out of China to countrys that favour US

Hence reducing the trade deficit and also gain new partners in the region

China its a self inflicted wound played right into the war mongers hands

That is why OBOR is there to create a land based trade route to replace the existing sea based trade routes.

A land based trade route will connect ASEAN, China to Russia, Eurasia and then EU + Middle East. The AngloSaxon will be out of picture.

The clash is inevitable.
