Yeah I would think that trying to cut themselves off from China to side with the US would just be a fast track to societal breakdown and revolution, communist or otherwise.

Exactly its basically a game of chicken. America is trying to make China give in fast because the longer this goes on the worse it is for America. So they want the Euros to help put pressure on them. Thing is China knows this and is ready to wait out their tantrum. Americas gonna lose big time.
