No, because Trump was never going to go along with their BS and now sees he has a once in a lifetime chance to break their rise to become the leading global power.
That’s why Xi (who has been given the same power and stature as Mao in the Chine constitution), gave a speech the other day telling his people to prepare for another “long march” which may cost “millions of lives”.
Let that sink in for a minute.

The term “new long march” has a very important historical meaning in China. It evokes Mao Zedong’s strategic retreat in 1934, a retreat from nationalist troops through China’s vast territory. The goal of those who survived, though, was to come back to take power. Mao acquired a reputation as a great leader, and his party took power completely in 1949.
The Communist takeover in China led to more deaths than any other regime in the history of mankind—estimates are from 49 to 78 million victims. During the period from 1958 to 1962 alone, the supposed “Great Leap Forward,” 45 million people died.
China was expecting to collapse the US with its internal spies and crony globalists. It now finds itself about equal to the the US militarily. Was not supposed to be that way. Thus, millions will have to pay. They spent to much on butter and not enough on guns is what my old econ prof would say, then he would crack a Chinese racist joke. Oh, the ole days.
