China has been around for a long, long time and has gone through many phases, including the current incarnation. In this time they have done a great many things for humanity. Including, one could argue, hugely reducing the cost of manufactured goods.
You talk about fairly competing like the US does not massively subsidize many, many industries, undercutting other countries. Not to mention some of the stuff it did in the 80's around south America.
And let's not talk about the fact that the US stole a lot of trade secrets and IP during its industrialization from Britain and other countries.
Feeling threatened by another nation going through its industrialization process and iterating upon it is not a good look, IMO, especially when now the glove is on the other hand so to speak.
