The balance of ironies appears to be the only true balance between the US and China. The leading import statistic is especially startling. A good and bad irony of the US being the world's number one consumer, but not the number one trade export sounds lose/lose. Image what we could do with China if we removed the propaganda of how each country portrays the other. Actually imagine what that would do for the world.
Yes, the ideological clash between America and China is at the root of all US-China tensions. The Americans oppose China's system of governance, and the Chinese oppose USA's global hegemony. The Americans want to remain #1 in the world. They believe in their supremacy.
The USA is in decline. This drives the American people crazy. The decline is irreversible.
China will be #1 in the world. This is China's century. It is inevitable and unstoppable.
Thank you Andrew. Regards Richard

Well done analysis, Andrew. Structuring your argument around “ironies” so on point!
