The USA is demanding this and that from China still intending to show the world it is in charge.
It wants China to stop exporting so that the USA can hold the world hostage with its manufacturing agenda. China not exporting as it does today mean its factories will have to close down or uprooted to other countries. But to be sure, China will not invest anymore in the USA and that is a certainty.
The USA wants to make China go back to the stone age so that it can rule in perpetuity, just like it tried to do to Japan and Germany, which is wishful thinking. Japan and Germany needed the USA market for their exports. China has a big domestic market and together with the Global South is not like Japan and Germany. Far from it.
The USA is now demanding that China must join in the renewal of the expired Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty with the Russians, in order for the USA to exert control over China's expanding nuclear deterrence and allow the USA to dictate to China with its superior nuclear arsenal. China should never be forced into a corner knowing that its deterrence is what keeps China safe against its enemies surrounding it.
Imagine Scott Bessent telling the world that China is trying to harm the global economy. In his mind, all the harm to the global economy must be the sole prerogative of the USA. It is now actually doing that with Trump using sanctions and tariffs against other countries to harm trade and create chaos and confusion. The biggest harm was adding insult to injury by gloating about countries having to crawl to Washington to kiss his bottom. That must be the mother of all insults, and yet some shameless idiots still crawled to Washington to pay obeyance to the spoilt juvenile president.
Scott Bessent keeps comforting himself by repeating that China will not weaponize its treasury holdings and investments in other assets against the USA. Like Trump, he thinks he is in control of what China wants to do. China already sold off half of its treasury holdings, waiting for an opportune time to retaliate further when the shit hits the fan. China is just holding back on its leverage and not dispense with it totally.

Didn't they attempted to force China to obey, during the Boxer Rebellion, with the eight nations ganging up trying to control China. They tried to split China up just like they succeeded to do so in Africa, giving each White invader concessions to rule, because China was too big for one country to control. The Japanese, the Asia country among the eight nations was so arrogant then, sashaying around like overlords. What was the result?
China is an ancient civilization that refused to crumple in the face of outside attempts to divide the country up and rule. Conquerors like the Mongols and Manchus ended up absorbing the Chinese culture and administrative system. That system is still alive, with leaders going through the rigorous civil service exams (a remnant of the Imperial Examination of the past). Through this process leaders are selected and rising from the bottom and not choosing leaders thru popularity contests, that ended up with wrong leaders like the USA and Europe. Moreover, in the context of the USA, which is an oligarchy, only the very rich can afford to stand for election and being chosen to serve.
China was weakened after the first and second opium war. Weak but not destroyed. Today China is a different country, and it takes more than empty threats to make China obey. The Whites fail to benefit from dictates anymore, not against China, not in Africa and not in South America. The Whites even need to make use of the non-Whites like Japan, India and Philippines to try to create problems for China. Gangsters and Mafia have bravery leveraging on numbers and not when they are alone.
