In the early 2000s, bringing China into the global community was widely seen as a strategic decision. The Bill Clinton and George W. Bush administrations supported integrating China’s economy into the international rules-based system.
China did not want to integrate. China has been seeking strategic independence in its economy by developing alternative layers of global economic ties, including the Belt and Road Initiative, PRC-centered supply chains, and emerging country groupings for longer than US.
Too much technological ties with China are seen as a potential vulnerability. It's not just technology itself, but it's importance in trade and economy. If the US or its allies have value chains tightly integrated with China on strategic components, it creates dependence.
This is dishonest. China didn't spend the last 20 years invading multiple countries, committing acts of mass-murder and destabilizing the whole Middle-East.
If anything, China's rise is a stabilizing factor for the whole world. It balances the aggression originating from the United States.
