The US has engaged in half a dozen wars in the last two decades. It has incited military coups in South America for the last century. It claims the Northwest Passage through Canada is an international strait.
Big powers will try to exert dominance over smaller countries, both for the material gain, and to show their power. China is much less aggressive than the US, and yet gets much more attention.

The right wing believe that the US must maintain an iron grip on the world. Even left wing newspapers like the New York Times have an anti-China bias, because they think that a battle between superpowers is a healthier expression of outgroup-hatred than domestic racism.
