On the contrary, Biden has been very tough on China, and what about Pelosi's Taiwan visit, maybe the most significant provocation in the
bilateral relationship in the past decade

I know a few died in the wool democrats who absolutely think China is a threat to be taken seriously. This is a bipartisan issue. Republicans are more boisterous in their approach, but if a Democrat is in power when China moves on Taiwan, the US response will be nearly identical to that of a Republican administration. I’d put a heavy bet on that.
I know you're deliberately wording this to avoid a partisan angle, but I genuinely think that it's hurting your point here. There is no "contest" at play here. There are no "both sides". All this rhetoric is coming from one side of the aisle.
And I agree it's bad, and hurtful, and quite frankly probably doing more to help the Chinese position on the world stage than hurt it. But it's also not something that's going to be fixed by stopping a "contest". Either the republicans decide to be grownups or they don't. The democrats can't fix that.
