The thing that blows my mind is that you're blaming the US for the situation. Google China's behavior in the South China Sea to get an idea of the problem. Or it using trade as retaliation against Australia, Lithuania and others. The list goes on from there.
Trade with China has always thought to be a democratising force, instead US has funded is country that is aggressively arming itself against it and becoming a threat to a civil rules based international order. Your 'no way' sounds pretty naive when the evidence points to China walking the path to exactly that. They have stated in not so many words that they will invade Taiwan, and walk right up to that line on a daily basis, and when that happens China will be at war with the US and the west generally.
