Good, if they cannot listen to reason, it’s there own fault. No one told them to listen to con jobs but hey, they listened to trump so it must be standard for them to be tricked all the time. Only this time, it might be literally lethal

But China's rise only cause a sense of relative decline, it does not address the real issue : US' own real decline. And whether is it reversible or not, is a separate story from China totally. Hammering China with the means that they using now is certainly NOT helping the US to maintain her hegemonial position.
And to your second paragraph ; all presidents from Kennedy, to Reagan then Jn. Bush always offers some concessions in exchange to their willing to shore up US position. But the current Trump administrations not only do they not offer the carrot, but also demanding allies to pay US upkeeps(n forms of base payment like Korea,Japan or one-sided trade deal with Britain/EU/China.), while also keeping in line with US foreign policies against their own interest.
If you listen closely to Pom's speech at Nixon's Library, it is quite sad that he dare not say upfront the very gist of his entire speech : US want to contain China.

Sometimes I wonder (not seriously) if these cops aren't Chinese agents. Whenever race relations in the US calm a little, they go out and do something like taser a black guy sleeping in his car or shoot a black guy 7 times in the back while he's walking to his car to restart the violent protests. You'd think that cops would be very careful now about how they choose to use force...
Not only that, but last year after the NBA Finals, the president of the Toronto Raptors (who is black) tried to go onto the court to celebrate the championship with his team, but a white cop stopped him. The cop claimed that the black president punched him and then sued him for $75,000. The body cam footage recently came out showing that the black president didn't do anything to him and the cop was the one who shoved him, yet the cop's police department say they stand by him and the lawsuit 100%.
Reading the replies, it seems like conservatives are perfectly comfortable with outright murder by cops due to heinous transgressions such as "Walking away". In no normal country is such a disproportionate application of force considered appropriate yet this is happening in the most powerful on earth. I guess when it happens frequently enough, it simply becomes an acceptable standard procedure.
Americans neocons are 100% out of this earth, I wouldn't be surprised if the conservatives initiate political violence against the democrats in the near future and they would be joined by Hanjians, they absolutely love the republicans.
China never lacks traitors and foreign sycophants, unfortunately for them, it came at a time where their new masters have almost completely lost its moral high ground.

While 90% of Democrats and 67% of independents think the death toll of COVID-19 in the U.S. is unacceptable, a whopping 57% republicans think it's "acceptable", indicating that both Trump, who boasts that his job in dealing with the COVID-19 is "one victory after another", and quite a few of his supporters are sociopaths that lack moral compass and empathy.
Well Cai Xia is just one out of 1.4 billion Chinese, or one out of 90 million CPC members. The vast majority (80-90%) of Chinese support their government and their political system.

It seems like US police are the most brutal in world. They seems never use warning shot (shoot to the air). They simply shoot the victim if he/she doesn't comply to order and the shooting are always fatal. Multiple vital shots at a suspect (which sometime doesn't do anything wrong). They do not try to neutralize the suspect, they simply try to kill him/her. They kill a human like killing an animal.
