Having flown lots of formation flights, that footage shows nothing alarming. The Chinese fighter is right where the us fighter would want him.

I thought the US pilot might have made him a bit nervous by maneuvering into his blind spot (dropping back and then down)

But if that is all there is, I don’t get the hyperventilating by the press.

Except it was not a US fighter but a US refueling tanker.
