China is rattled because it's the first time a national government is fighting back at them and hitting hard where it hurts, ie. At their ability to project economic power.
Every other recent US administration and other national government around the world has been treating the CCP with kid gloves or outright sucking them off for decades out of fear of trade repercussions, ie. China using their economic weight to force through foreign policy in other nations.
Say and think about Orange Guy what you will, but this matters a lot for the entire planet, and that its being done is something that few people are willing to appreciate.
