Really simple, there needs to be a cold war-mentality cultural shift in America. People need to ostracize their friends who are pro-China, and politicians need to know that they have the unanimous support of the people before we begin to defend and reorient ourselves (certainly on many different levels). Unfortunately, a fair amount of businessmen and a handful of billionaires have business interests in China (while our middle class has a knife twisted into its back), and push pro-China anti-trade war propaganda through the various media outlets that they own, like WaP, NYT, Economist, Financial Times, and so many reasonably intelligent people are deceived into believing that is a fallacy to oppose China, blasting you with sophistic comparisons like the Thucydides Trap. Also, in 2018, we had the unfortunate problem of the Democrats rabidly opposing the trade war, because they believed it to be of their advantage to make Trump look like a fool for engaging in it and against China, while informing people that Russia is the true enemy and that Trump is complicit with them. However, now that the election is over, I think that will die down and their will be bipartisan action. If and only when the people are united against China will there be a stand, although that may not come to pass until things are too late - our culture is more interested in noble virtue signaling and Marvel movies
