The United States, with the new presidency, has developed the conviction that the only "trade war”, However, conducted independently, is no longer sufficient to mitigate the positive growth trends of the Chinese economy. The great magnitude of the problem will require the involvement of the entire pro-American Western and Asian community, to create a strategically more credible tool to contain the advance of the "dragon".
