Richard Javad Heydarian, Asia Times: US, China thrusting towards a new Cold War
Tit-for-tat exchanges on economic, political and strategic fronts threaten to escalate into a full-blown conflict between the superpowers.

Also no Chinese bombers doing donuts along either US coasts nor Chinese naval fleets exercising off the US mainland.
