I feel the approach is more of the same desire for American hegemony/dominance in regions around the world which the majority of countries around the world are finally speaking up about over the last while due to alternative partnerships being available now with China that doesn't involve a ton of promises with no follow through often. I feel like the Americans' recent aggression in the Asia-Pacific region, such as them threatening to invade the Solomon Islands if they allow China to dock on their own territory is the US trying to desperately hang on to how things used to be when they can see that the countries that used to kowtow to all their demands are now going to make their own decisions for their own country's best interests and not the Americans.
As I said, I think both the US and China would benefit much more economically if they worked together, but I also believe that by moving in this direction and attempting to cut supply off to China specifically out of fear will only push China to innovate on their own, which they are already doing now given the cold relations with the US. In the end, China will get there whether it's with the US or without.
