I agree that we need to diversify our trade and our economy, in particular economic output.

But China is the world's next superpower. We should establish a strong relationship with them. Trade with them. And if needed - and it seems like it might be soon - ally with them militarily against the US.

Edit - you say

Literally all trade partners have increasing deficits, economic and political coercion is widespread, transnational repression has been increasing, China's interference in domestic affairs and election is strong

And I can't believe you don't see that this is exactly what is happening to us with the US, but they also want to destroy us economically and potentially attack us militarily.
