This is probably true. It is not surprising. Not a single American ally can be trusted to act against American interests even when their interests diverge.
Look, people, accept that to the United States and also increasingly its allies, China is the new Soviet Union. But the confrontation has absolutely nothing to do with the nominal clash between socialist and capitalist ideology of the 20th century, but just as in the 20th century, it a clash between the two largest economies in the world - by far - in which one side, the United States is trying to supress the progress and growth of influence of the other, China, because American political elites have an intense zero-sum mindset and/or just do not want to be surpassed by China out of a obsession to be and remain number one, despite the fact that the reality of China's demographic, human, and natural resources superiority in combination with just a much more competent system of government as far as ensuring socio economic development and order, in addition to a collectivist prevailing mindset of society over four millennia of history just makes it almost impossible that China will not eclipse the United States. It certainly will eventually socio economically in most indicators in the next two decades.
Another difference between this brewing cold war and the one of the 20th century, is that the United States already has a network of allies and other countries that it can cajole, threaten, and coerce into following its interests, while China lacks such a system and has shown little interest in the costs associated with having such as system of its own.
China is not going around the world aggressively proselytizing the virtues of its system of government and society as being superior to that of the United States or that of any other government and certainly not insisting that any other country follow its system of government as the United States and Western countries are wont to do. As such, one again, socio-political and economic ideology is not at the fore of America's attempts to contain China and see China fail. It is just resentment and fear at likely being surpassed socio economically by the China decisively.
