What exactly is the Chinese “threat” here? Are they going to send a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier loaded with soldiers to invade the shores of Seattle and Los Angeles? And then claim the mainland United States as their own property?

Countries are continually jockeying for power. There's cyber wars, trade wars, cultural wars.

  Not the countries. The "elites".

That's a straw man, I never said they're an invasion threat. They're a threat to US military superiority.

  Well power has to be balanced. Otherwise one with the biggest club might get wrong ideas.

    Currently, China is the one with the wrong ideas. That's why we need to oppose them every step of the way.

It isn't like he's arguing for a preemptive strike against China. Just a rule about giving taxpayer funding to their agents (which is what one becomes when agreeing to work on their behalf)

Seattle and LA no. But are they going to make territorial claims over islands in the South China Sea, islands that are also claimed by US allies such as the Philippines, South Korea and Japan? Will they use the threat of military force in an attempt to support those claims? Well yes they have already done so.
