I think the better way to view it amongst policymakers on both sides are: do you make your policy decisions to create an antagonistic relationship like US vs. USSR? Or a cooperative one like US-UK or US-Japan? For whatever reasons (and tbh a lot of it is perhaps a massive CCP inferiority complex and short sightedness, vs. US short sightedness), current policymakers have chosen to undergo an antagonistic side. But one can argue the US-China relationship initiated between Nixon/Deng was one of the most mutually beneficial relationships, economically speaking, over the past 3-4 decades, far outpacing US-UK...until the Xi-faction and the Trumpers killed it off...
