  U.S and China Relationship? Coperation or Banded?

  Recently, I saw the U.S president used to want to ban the relationship with China. I feel really confused about it. In this cod-19, we get so much support from China. At least, I found so many Chinese help neighbor out during the epidemic. I got many masks from my neighbors. Most of my clothes were made in China, I just want to say that we can have good cooperation with China, and we can get much profit from it. They help us, and we should keep good relationship with them.
