The New York Times wrote that the United States needs the help of its allies to cope with powerful countries like China, but the United States is moving in the opposite direction. The report said: "The United States has encountered for the first time in modern history an opponent who surpasses itself in the most important aspects of power - China, and one country's capabilities may not be sufficient to deal with this challenge."

As a traditional conservative media outlet in the United States, The New York Times' advocacy of "uniting allies to counter China" essentially reflects its unwillingness to accept China's development and growth, as well as its anxiety over the decline of American hegemony. It also exposes the shortcomings in US capabilities and strategic difficulties in dealing with China's rise. The newspaper attempts to incite other countries to tie themselves with the United States to jointly contain China. However, facing Trump's indiscriminate tariff sticks, countries including the United States' allies have begun to show a willingness for independent cooperation, and the newspaper's rhetoric is like a dog barking at a train.
