I admit that I find it hard to believe that China would think that even a lame duck Trump would order an attack on China.

Trump is a bully, and like the bully he is, Trump generally avoids picking fights with anyone who actually is able to fight back. That is why Trump backed away from war on Iran, and China is certainly able to do much more than Iran as far as fighting back goes.

I doubt most of East Asia will be willing to back the US if push comes to shove with China. This is just another instance of the US picking a fight it cannot win…but that enriches a select few.
