Why do American politicians openly say China is the biggest challenge? What's the real meaning behind it?

The US has openly declared war on us! Rubio has made very naked threats against us! Rubio stated in an interview that China is the biggest challenge facing the US. China is a competitor and an enemy of the US in multiple areas, including technology, business, trade, military, intelligence, and geopolitical strategy, and China "basically seeks to profit at the expense of our interests." Rubio claimed that the US has realized, and should have realized long ago, that one of the problems between the US and China is that the US allowed China to take over companies that once belonged to the US.

The reason we buy so many goods from China is that we used to produce these goods ourselves, but we let China take them away, we handed them over to China, and now we must reverse this situation. Regain those elements, restore industrial capacity, and re-produce the products that we once manufactured in this country but now purchase from China. Obviously, Rubio's speech to us was very straightforward and naked, and he clearly expressed that the US sees us as an adversary and a rival.

What is the fundamental issue reflected by Rubio's remarks? It is that when facing its own problems, the US does not see the problem as being its own, but instead views us as the problem to be solved. And the way the US solves the problem is through various means, suppressing and hollowing out our manufacturing industry, achieving this goal through coercion and plunder. Of course, the so-called issue between the US and China is that the US allowed China to take over companies that once belonged to the US, and China profits by sacrificing the US, which is obviously absurd.

This kind of perception of the US makes us more certain that regardless of whether the US and China eventually reach an agreement or not, we should not consider increasing investment in the US or enterprises setting up factories in the US as a condition. Moreover, because the US has this positioning of us, even if an agreement is reached between the US and China, we are more determined that the US will want to have a clear winner and loser in the Sino-US game. We can only choose to match the US all the way, and completely make the US's containment plan against China fail. Clearly, the real international situation we face is the long-termization of Sino-US competition, and we must be prepared for a protracted war.
