Can you give us specifics? What has the Trump administration actually done with China? In case you're not aware, China isn't even in the top 10 exporters of steel into the USA[0], so please don't say steel tariffs.

The most recent is docking of Aircraft carrier in Vietnam for the first time since the cold war. There is also a closer relationship with Taiwan and new bills being made to apporve sale of weapons. The american ships and aircrafts have also ignored the territory of the artificial islands sending signal to all the commerical boats that the water is for everybody to use.

  Neither of your last two points are Trump things. Selling arms to Taiwan isn't new. There's the Taiwan Relations Act Affirmation and Naval Vessel Transfer Act of 2014 and an arms deal signed under Obama in 2015 for $1.83 billion (1). Sailing within the 12 nautical miles of the man-made Chinese islands also happened under Obama (2).
