The "hostile entity" is hands down our #1 trade partner and a massive source of income.
Being a rival is not the same thing as being a hostile foreign entity.

sigh. You can still be trading with someone and they can still be your enemy. Just because we're not at war with them, doesn't mean they aren't hostile.

How is China our "enemy"? When did China ever attack or threatened to attack the United States? The USSR was an enemy. They represented a fundamental existential threat to the United States. China does not. China is challenging our leadership position globally, but it has no intention to and gains nothing by destroying the United States.

Maybe China is not strictly an enemy but they're definitely not our best friend at this point - and do much to actively undermine our system here on our soil.

China without a doubt views the United States as their #1 enemy.
Just look at their plans to take over the western pacific. The United States is the only thing in China’s way of fucking with international shipping lanes
