Problem is everyone wants to play with that bully even now. The world wants access to the American market since they are by far the largest and they consume the most.

I think at the immediate moment the Chinese consumer market is very slightly smaller than the USA, which makes your “by far” kinda comical to read. But in the last five years China and the USA have swapped places a couple of times for largest consumer market and projections to 2030 will have China consistently beating the USA by that point.
So smart money doesn’t want to play with the bully. He’s falling over.
