I'm not sure about that. The US and China sort of need each other, at least from an economic perspective. If one faces disruption, the effect on the other is guaranteed. I'm not saying they like each other, but the relationship is symbiotic in many ways.

US is way less dependent on imports than China is dependent on exports

Anything that tips the scale in favor of one tips it against the other. Why are Americans arguing for the US to have less leverage in this relationship? It's downright illogical.
