China can give as much support as it wants and it will buy no love in the white house or congress on a bipartisan level. China is deemed the new rising power that has to be taken down. W Bush started the anti China policy (with a hiatus because of other war distractions), then Obama’s Pentagon drew up invasion plans in his first term (but ultimately decided that that window had closed) and then thus instituted the Pivot to Asia (economic strangulation of China). Now Trump is continuing it and both parties foreign policy gurus are anti-Chinese. Other potential recipient countries would probably appreciate the gesture long term.
