I don't think US is genuinely interested in uncoupling with totalitarian regimes. There are many countries like Saudi Arab, UAE, Morocco that have way worse human rights record than China, and the US have no problem with selling even tanks and fighter jets to them. What's in US's real interest is staying more competitive over China and the support for democracy is only a cover story. It's even worse when looking back in history, Taiwan was totalitarianly ruled before the 90s but US has been backing it ever since world war II.
