The US is independent in most things and at the top table in military and technology, it can if it chooses to "live in a bubble" however that does not appear to be what's happening, China has criticised the US policy for decades, but the Russian War in Ukraine has made the West and particularly the US to evaluate its strategic planning and China has not fared well in that evaluation, it appears that China has gone from priority partner to systemic threat in one and a half presidencies, and whilst the one lacked detail on how to legislate it, the half is doing a thorough job, at present, of ensuring corporate US will abide with the governments rules on China or fall foul of the law, the US has galvanised the Wider West in support of Ukraine to help it defend itself against the barbaric Russians, China has done itself no favours by siding with Russia effectively against Ukraine and the Wider West, the longer the war continues the less likely there will be a constructive truce between China and the US, and decoupling is the current priority of the Wider West, not just the US, however the US is advancing at a much faster pace!?!

Not long, they are both despots!?!

China has a massive trade surplus with the US and Europe of which it is unlikely to replace elsewhere, rare earths are not so rare, its just because it's environmentally unfriendly to mine and process it therefore the Wider West has farmed it out, however it will be mined and processed in the West if it needs to because China tries to restrict or ban it. The continuing jibes and threats from China are very strange as it appears to be making the same errors of judgement all the time, or perhaps as the China analyst quoted perhaps China has realised that USA relations are not going to get any better, as witnessed by the rise in idle shipping containers at terminals. Xi shouldn't expect any change from the EU either as its best buddy is fighting a war in Europe which China has not condemned, their double stance on issues seems so bizarre!?!

China also has 57 Trillion USD of total debt, that's a bit of a drag on the old resources front, they cannot buy their way out either, making themselves into one big conglomerate does make them harder to deal with on some levels and with a lot of countries, but that's assuming they make all the right decisions and that has not been in evidence under Xi's leadership, and he's stilling dragging a big underbelly for those recent systemic mistakes they are trying to hide under the balance sheet which will add further debt, no wonder they are squealing like stuck pigs!?!
