Really? I list some action US is taking to try to constrain China and you say US will be in the Russian role.
It is because they can't do it with one blow that they adopt constrainment strategy like always. Same thing with Russia
Yes and they are using the old but effective strategy of constrainment. It is up to China to play this game better
An unfounded fear. How China is suposed to strategically constrained US?

Yes, the divide and conquer thing is real and very usefull. It is therefore up to China to know how to act so as not to fall into this trap.
What is happening now between China and India does not come from West but from themselves. And The US will be more than happy to exploit that.

It does not really matter that the liars is wrong but say they are right because the world is like the jungle.
The IR in world has always been filled with lies.
What constrains? China is still forging ahead while US is in decline you would be blind to not to see it.
Exploit the Indians maybe but not China
Like Trump’s lies and obsession with China lol. The obsession and insecurity about China really shows the incompetence of the government as a whole.

They can't do it? You just said they can constrain China to taunt China's weakness? They afraid of trying? China grows stronger every moment you delay. You just admitted the limitations of going against China.
China is playing it better. The US and allies are frustrated because they can't do it all at once. They have to be sneaky? The US can't gang-up the world against China because China's rise didn't come from violence like the West. No one else is going to sacrifice their lives because the US is losing its status in the world. China, the 2nd most powerful country in the world, has beaten every other Western country and their superior system without using its military. No excuses to bomb. That's why the US is constrained. The US is trying to get allies to do all the dirty work to lessen the damage to itself by spreading the pain. Translation... not so omnipotent.
Is the world slipping away from an age of reason into medieval barbarism? This has happened before when the age of reason in Greece vanished before a dark era lasting 600 years. The Roman empire was first weakened by the Huns and then fell to the Visigoths. There were waves of barbarian attacks and religious wars. Pechenags, Kipchaks, Mongols. The Crusades.,
Russia is the latest country to be seen to slip into obscurantism The eclipse of reason in a country that once courageously unshackled itself from centuries of rule by a church backed monarchy is frightening.This unshackling is described in detail in the book "How the steel was Tempered " by Nikolai Ostrovsky.,
It is not merely a symbolic replacement of the Red Star by the Double Headed Eagle or painting yellow and brown stripes ( the ribbon of St. George) on the Armata tanks which is ominous.
When the head of a state kneels before the Grand Patriarch and kisses his hand, it is a lamentable reversal of the decades of sacrifices by rationalists to build a nation with a scientific temperament. A proud nation that emerged from the ashes of a world war and sent the first man into space is now reversing into a theocracy.
The reason there was no nuclear
annihilation in the Cold War was because the communists knew that there was no existence other than what was present, and there was no paradise or hereafter. The Soviet Union and their allies wanted to live and see their grandchildren. Their weapons were a deterrent only.
The Soviet Union and the era of reason it fostered has gone forever.
Russia has inherited crumbling remnants of the Soviet Union's once mighty arsenal and industrial military complex.Russia is isolated and in the crosshairs of an intact NATO that wants a break up of the Federation to grab the vast natural resources of Siberia. Economically and militarily weak, a frightened Russia is depending on religion and the Almighty to save it from the onslaught.
Although Putin dropped a broad hint at a China Russia military alliance no country is going to fight a weak Russia's battle for survival. With poverty and malnutrition Russians are depleting their population so fast soon the last Russian will be extinct.
In this age of darkness China has emerged as an economic and military force for reason that the Soviet Union could never achieve. In the coming era China remains the only hope against the revival of the darkest forces that would plunge the world into a nuclear holocaust.
So with great fanfare, the US and Trump announced the "peace deal" thus setting himself as the great peace maker.
It also announces that Sudan to pay $US330 million in compensation. Sounds like quite a win for Trump and the US.
But dig deep, and you will see US agreed to write off $US60 billion of debts. Plus immediately release millions of dollars of aids.
Oh, how we win!
