What is the connection between the current conflicts, from Iran to Venezuela to Ukraine? And does Trump’s seemingly erratic foreign policy have a method — or is chaos the method?
Well, I think it's even simpler than that. Trump works for Israel. Period.
WRT China, there's speech and actions. Trump has systematically avoided any direct confrontation with China.
And China is not avoiding confrontation with the US. China's been playing smart. Take the ballistic technology proliferation for the past 20 years to the key bricks of its Belt and Road. The US and Israel are now bearing the brunt of it.Any attempt to sow disorder only reinforces China's standing as the prime source of order.
China as a matter of fact controls the Ormuz Straight and the red sea, indirectly...
Maybe the protests of the peoples of Europe will have some importance in this process if and when they will become more intense. We might see it as the price of energy (and of everything, consequently) rises. I'm afraid we won't have to wait too long.
Yes, for what it's worth, I believe your analysis is exactly right. And, as an aside in response to another comment made here, I'm constantly surprised by the myopia of those unable to understand the true nature of the relationship between Israel and the US: that the dog does actually do the wagging, not the arse-end.

The US simply seeks to cut off Chinese access to inputs and markets.
And yes, Trump is a puppet.
