This story seems to play out a lot with the US govt. Likely due to the lack of any real long-term planning.

  1. Oh no China is taking some of our control over X
  2. Do nothing for a while
  3. Scramble to stop China from completely taking over X
  4. Waste billions on propaganda, cost everyone money via tariffs, sanctions, bans, etc
  5. Realize it was never going to work and give up
  6. Do nothing for a while
  7. Start at step 1 again

You forgot the massive step in between 5 and 6 where they commit terrorism somewhere in Asia or Africa to fuck with Chinese trade
