They really only pissed off because China is playing a different game (the game we originally stomped them at) and kicking our asses in the process.

China is not playing the game the US originally did and still is: settler-colonialism^1^, slavery^2^, and imperialism^3^.
The US didn’t “stomp” China, the UK did: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_of_humiliation

A lot of people forget that the US got wealthy through colonialism and slavery. Then that wealth was used to build up education and other institutions. Somehow though they decided to squander all of that and dismantle any progress made.
