Structural factors matter, not personalities. The US does not tolerate threats to its hegemonic status. Only the total surrender of any national interests by China would be acceptable to Washington. DC elites deluded themselves that China would simply be a very big version of South Korea or Japan: vassal states with little to say.
When they understood that was a fantasy is when the aggression began. Trump or Biden or whoever president doesn't matter. The same treatment will be given to India if they ever dare to move out of the orbit of "the West's chess piece against China". India's weakness is that its elites are much more westernised than China's and so any move towards genuine independence will be hampered from the inside by those who care more about their links to the West than their own national interest. This is true in other South Asian countries like Pakistan too.
The obsession with China is at some level rational, because I don't see any other country being able to stand up to US hegemony other than China today or even far into the future.
