When the USA feels threatened by a rising power the answer is usually to cripple the rise rather than directly compete


Seems pretty universal throughout history, and no different with even China themselves. If a country feels threatened, they retaliate/seek to block it.

Our PM asked for an inquiry into the origins of covid, and China banned our beef, wine, barley, and coal imports.

There was no inquiry. Seems China won that one.
