Yeah, it does make you wonder if the US is going in hard on China because they see them as a threat to its own power around the world, a bit like they did with Japan in the past, which is probably why others like Europe and much of the world don't listen as much when it comes to policies on China, in other words, they have concerns on China, but nothing to the degree the US has got, probably because China is by far a bigger threat to the US.
You also get a sense that if the EU were to integrate a lot more, the US would see them as a threat in the same way they saw Japan and see China today, it's about power, not the policies or the political system they live under.
I suspect because of the way the world is reshaping, China will likely continue to grow, the EU will eventually get its act together, the US will likely become more hostile to many of these powers, the US is a friend to the Europeans to a degree, but only to a certain level, hence why Europeans need to wake up and do what's in there interest, not US interest, because the US rarely cares about the interest of the rest of the world unless they stand to gain from it, Japan found that out in the 80's.
