The Pacific fleet is constantly doing shit with the Koreans and the Japs and Taiwan, that's not new. Posturing over the South China Sea has been going on forever as well. As for the Tariffs, they can keep up this weekend at Joey's presidency and parade around Biden's confused ass a bit longer, they need the revenue right now and he is going to be a disposable half term president they can use to do unpopular things. Then lord and savior lady Kamala will come and end the bad orange man's racist China policy, or maybe focus groups will suggest that Biden should do it at some point soon. I dunno what the strategy is (if there even is one outside of loot & plunder + big gay rainbows) but the US does not want a hot conflict with China, if they did they have had 1000x excuses to do so, from Wuhan to Hong Kong to Tibet...
If they are finally coming around out of the Russian model of foreign policy and seeing China as the cold war style threat that it is, then good but to say they want war is nutty talk.
they need the revenue right now
Do they? I have my doubts as the government needs no funding from anything, since it prints its own money and, to quote Michael Bloomberg, the USA has access to infinite money as China has to keep lending us money.

Which reminds me that the US government is still continuing the literal faggotry of state-sponsored terror in Hong Kong, and Taiwan, that the likes of Pompeo and Rubio started under Trump.
